    Summary

    Middle ear microsurgery has advanced, refining stapedectomy and simple tympanoplasty for hearing restoration. However, complex reconstructions and cholesteatoma management remain challenging areas in otologic surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Microsurgery
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Middle ear microsurgery has progressed significantly over 30 years.
    • The focus has shifted from technical feasibility to clinical advisability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the evolution and current status of middle ear microsurgery.
    • To identify areas of success and persistent challenges in otologic procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of advancements in stapedectomy techniques.
    • Evaluation of outcomes for simple tympanoplasty (myringoplasty +/- incus transposition).
    • Analysis of unresolved issues in stapes reconstruction and cholesteatoma surgery.

    Main Results:

    • Stapedectomy is a refined procedure with high success rates.
    • Simple tympanoplasty effectively restores dry ears and hearing.
    • Reconstruction without a mobile stapes and safe management of cholesteatoma cavities remain problematic.

    Conclusions:

    • Significant progress has been made in specific middle ear surgeries.
    • Further research and innovation are needed for complex stapes reconstruction and cholesteatoma management.
