Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Biomaterials in Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Ossicular chain defects are frequent challenges in otologic surgery.
  • The optimal material for ossicular reconstruction remains a subject of ongoing research and debate.
  • Current prostheses face limitations, necessitating exploration of alternative autologous options.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the authors' experience with autologous septal cartilage for tympanoplasty and ossiculoplasty.
  • To evaluate the feasibility, technique, and outcomes of using septal cartilage grafts.
  • To present a reliable method for reconstructing various ossicular defects.

Main Methods:

  • Harvesting of septal floor cartilage through a Killian incision.
  • Intraoperative remodeling of the cartilage to match specific ossicular defects.
  • Detailed description of the surgical procedure from cartilage procurement to ossiculoplasty.
  • Documentation of intraoperative challenges and solutions for diverse clinical scenarios.

Main Results:

  • Successful reconstruction of ossicular defects using autologous septal cartilage.
  • No instances of graft extrusion were observed in the study cohort.
  • The cartilage demonstrated excellent stability, even in cases of recurrent otologic disease.
  • Audiological outcomes were found to be comparable to established ossiculoplasty materials.

Conclusions:

  • Autologous septal cartilage is a robust and reliable material for ossicular chain reconstruction.
  • The technique described offers a viable alternative for tympanoplasty with ossiculoplasty.
  • This method provides durable and satisfactory audiological results, addressing a critical need in otologic practice.
