    Surgical reconstruction using the Plastipore total ossicular replacement prosthesis (TORP) for chronic middle ear disease showed limited success. Prosthesis extrusion and positioning remain significant challenges in achieving optimal hearing outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Biomaterials in reconstructive surgery
    • Middle ear mechanics

    Background:

    • Chronic middle ear disease frequently causes ossicular defects, complicating hearing reconstruction.
    • The Plastipore total ossicular replacement prosthesis (TORP) is utilized for ossicular chain reconstruction.
    • Surgical outcomes for TORP in chronic middle ear disease require further evaluation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the surgical outcomes of Plastipore total ossicular replacement prostheses (TORPs) in patients with chronic middle ear disease.
    • To identify factors influencing hearing results and complications associated with TORP reconstruction.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 29 surgical procedures involving Plastipore TORPs.
    • Evaluation of hearing outcomes and complications, including prosthesis extrusion.

  • Assessment of anatomical factors such as stapes superstructure and malleus presence.

    • Main Results:

    • Only nine out of 29 (31%) procedures were considered successful in improving hearing.
    • Absence of stapes superstructure in all patients and malleus in 13 patients presented challenges.
    • Improved hearing was noted with TORP placement under the malleus handle and use of intervening tissue, but extrusion persisted.
    • Prosthesis positioning and middle ear space contraction were identified as key issues leading to extrusion.

    Conclusions:

    • Plastipore TORP reconstruction for chronic middle ear disease yields suboptimal success rates.
    • Challenges in prosthesis positioning and middle ear space dynamics contribute to extrusion and limit functional hearing restoration.
    • Further research is needed to refine TORP techniques and materials to improve long-term outcomes.
