Abstract:
We review the main causes of failure using total and partial ossicular replacement prostheses in staged intact canal wall tympanoplasty. Most failures may be prevented by using a few surgical devices. Otherwise, when a graft perforation or a hearing impairment occurs, it requires another operation for new grafting and to replace the prosthesis.
