Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Auditory Reconstruction

Background:

  • Ossicular reconstruction involves diverse materials and techniques, with ongoing debate on efficacy and longevity.
  • Autologous ossicle, cartilage, and synthetic implants are common, but outcomes vary.
  • Controversy persists regarding the best approach for middle ear reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the outcomes of conventional versus carved conchal cartilage (vertical strut) type III tympanoplasty.
  • To evaluate graft uptake and hearing gain in two distinct tympanoplasty techniques.
  • To assess the efficacy of the vertical strut technique in improving middle ear function.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective, interventional, comparative, double-blind randomized control study.
  • 52 patients undergoing type III tympanoplasty were randomized into two groups (26 each).
  • Group A: Conventional type III tympanoplasty; Group B: Vertical strut technique using carved conchal cartilage.

Main Results:

  • Graft uptake was higher in the vertical strut group (96.16%) compared to the conventional group (88.5%).
  • The vertical strut technique demonstrated superior hearing gains.
  • Improved air conduction thresholds and air-bone gap were noted with the vertical strut method.

Conclusions:

  • The Vertical Strut technique shows promise for type III tympanoplasty.
  • This technique may offer better middle ear space and tympanic membrane interface, leading to improved hearing.
  • Further research into the Vertical Strut technique is warranted for auditory reconstruction.
