Summary
Proplast implants for ear canal reconstruction and cavity obliteration led to complications and removal. Plastipore implants are recommended only as ossicular bridges due to foreign body reactions.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Biomaterials Science
- Surgical Innovation
Background:
- Proplast and Plastipore implants have been utilized in middle ear reconstructive surgery.
- Previous studies suggest varying outcomes with these biomaterials in otologic procedures.
