    Porous polyethylene prostheses show poor long-term success in tympanoplasty for chronic suppurative otitis media. Hearing restoration remains challenging, with material degradation observed.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Biomaterials Science
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) significantly impacts hearing.
    • Tympanoplasty has advanced, but restoring hearing in cases with stapedial arch loss remains difficult.
    • Establishing an efficient tympanic membrane-oval window link is a key surgical challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the five-year efficacy of porous polyethylene prostheses in tympanoplasty.
    • To assess the long-term functional outcomes of using biocompatible materials for ossicular reconstruction.
    • To determine if porous polyethylene offers a viable solution for hearing restoration in complex CSOM cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of five-year outcomes for tympanoplasty using porous polyethylene.

  • Evaluation of partial ossicular replacement prostheses (PORP) and total ossicular replacement prostheses (TORP).
  • Assessment of hearing improvement success rates at one and five-year follow-ups.

    • Main Results:

    • One-year success rate for PORP was 64%, declining to 43% at five years.
    • One-year success rate for TORP was 59%, decreasing to 22% at five years.
    • Evidence of porous polyethylene material degradation was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Porous polyethylene demonstrates suboptimal long-term hearing restoration outcomes in tympanoplasty.
    • The material's degradation and declining success rates question its continued use.
    • Alternative biocompatible materials or surgical techniques may be necessary for improved outcomes.
