    Summary

    Preserving auditory ossicles for tympanoplasty is crucial to prevent infections. Formalin and Cialit disinfection proved most effective, eliminating all tested germs for safer auditory ossicle implants.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Microbiology
    • Biomaterials Science

    Background:

    • Auditory ossicles are used as implants in tympanoplasty.
    • Postoperative infections can arise from germ-contaminated ossicles.
    • Effective preservation methods are essential for implant safety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the microbiological effectiveness of three common preserving methods for auditory ossicles.
    • To identify the optimal disinfection protocol for auditory ossicle implants.

    Main Methods:

    • Microbiological examinations were performed on auditory ossicles preserved using three different methods.
    • Methods included disinfection with Cialit, 70% ethyl alcohol with thiomersal-Ringer's solution, and formalin with Cialit.
    • Germ regrowth was assessed after preservation.

    Main Results:

    • Cialit disinfection alone yielded unsatisfactory results.
    • 70% ethyl alcohol followed by thiomersal-Ringer's solution showed satisfactory results.
    • Preservation with formalin and subsequent Cialit treatment was most effective, with no germ regrowth observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Formalin and Cialit offer the most effective germ elimination for auditory ossicle preservation.
    • This method ensures the sterility of auditory ossicles intended for tympanoplasty implants.
    • Optimized preservation reduces the risk of postoperative infections in tympanoplasty procedures.
