Incus interposition surgery using autografts or homografts successfully restored hearing in 75% of patients with ossicular discontinuity. Optimal outcomes depend on intact malleus ligaments and tensor tympani tendon.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Audiology

Context:

  • Ossicular discontinuity often results from trauma or cholesteatoma, leading to conductive hearing loss.
  • Incus interposition is a surgical technique to reconstruct the middle ear ossicular chain.
  • This study evaluates a 5-year experience with incus interposition using modeled autografts or homografts.

Purpose:

  • To assess the long-term efficacy of incus interposition for correcting ossicular discontinuity.
  • To identify factors influencing postoperative hearing outcomes.
  • To evaluate the use of modeled incus grafts (autograft or homograft).

Summary:

  • A 5-year study (1980-1985) involved 44 patients undergoing incus interposition with modeled autografts or homografts.

  • 75% of patients achieved significant air-bone gap closure (1-10 dB) after a mean follow-up of 21 months.
  • Better hearing results were observed in patients with trauma or middle ear atelectasis compared to cholesteatoma.

    • Impact:

    • Demonstrates the effectiveness of incus interposition for hearing restoration in specific patient groups.
    • Highlights the importance of intact malleus attic ligaments and tensor tympani tendon for successful outcomes.
    • Provides evidence for the surgical technique of repositioning the modeled incus under the malleus handle neck.
