Description

One hundred and thirty-one cases of type III tympanoplasty with ossicular reconstruction are presented.<BR>Hearing was analyzed according to the types of reconstruction employed. The procedure was classified as successful when the postoperative hearing level met at least one of these three conditions: 1) hearing level less than 40dB, 2) hearing gain more than 15dB or 3) air-bone gap less than 20dB.<BR>Successful ears in hearing were obtained in 100 (76%) of the patients. It was found that the primary operation for chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma produced good hearing results (89% of the cases). Non-inflammatory, traumatic and anomalous middle ear diseases and 2nd-look operations also showed good hearing gain. On the other hand, in cases of revision operation, the incidence of successful ears in hearing was very low (58% of the cases). There were no significant differences between the types of ossicular reconstruction.<BR>The three requirements for a successful hearing are also discussed.
