American Journal of Otolaryngology, 09/04/09
Felek SA et al. – The authors had the best ossicular reconstruction results with glass ionomer cement, whereas the worst results were obtained with allograft partial ossicular replacement prostheses. They determined that risk–reducing factors such as dry ear, minimal ossicular chain defect, and intact malleus were important to have successful results. The middle ear risk index is a valuable tool for the surgeon to judge the risks and the probability success of the procedure as well as to make a good patient selection.
