    Computed tomography (CT) effectively evaluated synthetic ossicular replacement prostheses (TORPs and PORPs). CT identified prosthesis subluxation and fixation, aiding surgical revision for improved hearing outcomes in patients with ossicular chain reconstruction.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Synthetic ossicular replacement prostheses (TORPs and PORPs) are used in ossicular chain reconstruction.
    • Evaluating the position and integrity of these prostheses is crucial for surgical success.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the utility of computed tomography (CT) in evaluating the position and condition of synthetic ossicular replacement prostheses (TORPs and PORPs).

    Main Methods:

    • Twenty-two patients who underwent ossicular reconstruction with either TORPs or PORPs were studied retrospectively using CT.
    • CT scans were analyzed to determine prosthesis visibility, position, and identify any complications.
    • Correlation between CT findings and surgical outcomes was examined.

    Main Results:

    • Twelve patients (55%) achieved good surgical results.
    • CT identified prosthesis subluxation in four patients and fibrous tissue fixation in four patients with unsatisfactory outcomes.
    • In two cases with initially normal CT scans, surgery revealed graft lateralization and nonfunctioning interfaces.

    Conclusions:

    • Computed tomography is a valuable tool for evaluating synthetic ossicular replacement prostheses post-surgery.
    • CT can detect complications such as subluxation and fixation, guiding revision surgeries.
    • The imaging modality aids in understanding the reasons for unsatisfactory outcomes in ossicular reconstruction.
