OSSICULOPLAST
Y
DR. AJAY MANICKAM
JUNIOR RESIDENT
MS ENT
RG KAR MEDICAL COLLEGE
THE OSSICULOPLASTY
ο‚› Reconstruction of the ossicular
chain – aims to surgically optimize
the middle ear transformer
mechanism.
ο‚› Sound from the environment is
conducted to inner ear fluid with
minimal loss
History
ο‚› 1957 – ossicular repositioning was
described
ο‚› Plastic prosthesis – high extrusion,
stapes footplate fistula
ο‚› Homografts – convenient – but viral or
prion disease risk
ο‚› Wire prosthesis - stainless steel wires,
platinum better tolerated but displaced
over time
An Ideal prosthesis
ο‚› Durable
ο‚› Biocompatible
ο‚› Easy to manipulate material
Plastipore
ο‚› Alloplast made from High Density
Polyethylene sponge (HDPS)
ο‚› TORP, PORP
ο‚› Thermal fused HDPS – Polycel
ο‚› However its necessary to cover
plastipore with cartilage to
minimize extrusion
Ceramic Implants
ο‚› 1979
ο‚› Bio inert and bio active
ο‚› Unfortunately higher extrusion
Hydroxylapatite
ο‚› Bioactive implant with ca2+ and
phosphorous to human bone
ο‚› Osseointegeration
ο‚› Can come into direct contact with
tympanic membrane
Hybrid prosthesis
ο‚› Tolerance of tympanic membrane
contact
ο‚› Flexibility of plastipore
ο‚› Hybrid prosthesis with hydroxyl
apatite head shafts made of teflon,
platinum or stainless steel
ο‚› Bone cements – limited erosions
Pre operative assesment
ο‚› Otoscopy, HRCT, audiometry
ο‚› Intraoperative decisions more important
The planning
ο‚› Healthy ears or chronic diseased ears
ο‚› If active disease – priority to make middle ear
mastoid disease free
Factors resulting in success
ο‚› S – Surgery (open or closed mastoid)
ο‚› P – Prosthesis type
ο‚› I – Infection +/-
ο‚› T – Tissue health
ο‚› E – Eustachian tube function
AUSTIN’S CLASSIFICATION
Malleus handle (M+, M-)
Stapes superstructure (S+, S-)
ο‚› Type A (M+, S+)
ο‚› Type B (M+, S-)
ο‚› Type C (M-, S+)
ο‚› Type D (M-, S-)
Wullstein classification
ο‚› Type 1 – no need for reconstruction
ο‚› Type 2 – graft placed over
remaining malleus/long pro incus
ο‚› Type 3 (1) minor columella
ο‚› Type 3 (2) major columella
ο‚› Type 4 – graft over stapes footplate
ο‚› Type 5 – graft over an open oval
window sound transmission to pass
to fenestrated LSCC
Principles of ossiculoplasty
ο‚› T – Tension with which implant placed
ο‚› R – Round window protection
ο‚› A – Angle (45 – 90)
ο‚› C – Centred (prosthesis to TM)
ο‚› S – Space (>0.3ml, N= 1ml)
Type A
ο‚› Favourable relationship
ο‚› Unfavourable relationship
Favourable relationship
ο‚› Lenticular process of incus is eroded and the
manudrium is in close proximity
ο‚› Interpositioning graft
ο‚› Drilled with 0.5 mm diamond burr
ο‚› Sculpted incus must exceed the size of gap
ο‚› Malleus must be pushed anterolaterally
Favourable relationship
Unfavourable relationship
ο‚› Manubrium positioned far anterior to stapes
superstructure
ο‚› PORP is suggested in such conditions
ο‚› Smaller defect – hydroxylapetite bone cement
Type B & Type D
ο‚› TORP
ο‚› Long term results unsatisfactory as the
medial slurt can be displaced
ο‚› Cartilage shoe is helpful – size of oval window
niche, hole in center to accommodate TORP
Type B & D TORP
Type B & D
Type C
ο‚› PORP
ο‚› Cartilage graft placed medial to TM effective
in reducing the extrusion rates of Titanium
and Hydroxylapatite
Type C PORP
Factors to be coordinated
ο‚› Anterior mesotympanum to be packed with
gelfoam and TM positioned
ο‚› Graft gently elevated
ο‚› Prosthesis placement
ο‚› Cartilage interposition
ο‚› Graft to final position
Malleus fixation syndrome
ο‚› Difficult to diagnose preoperatively
ο‚› Tympanosclerosis
ο‚› Chr. Infection
ο‚› Trauma
ο‚› Paget’s disease
ο‚› Ligament ossification
ο‚› Otosclerosis
ο‚› Congenital & Idiopathic disorders
Approach
ο‚› Atticotomy
ο‚› Absorbable esterified hyaluronate is
interposed and left in place
Revision surgery
ο‚› Long term success results are good
ο‚› Control of chronic disease and ET dysfn
ο‚› CT scan – defines better
ο‚› LASER to lyse adhesions
ο‚› Lots of adhesion – silastic sheeting over
promontory
ο‚› Failed TORP – inspect fistula - repair with graft
Special conditions
Myringostapediopexy
ο‚› Short columella ossiculoplasty – allogenic
septal spur cartilage or autogenic/allogenic
incus graft
ο‚› Steps of surgery
Shaping of cartilage graft
ο‚› Allograft septal spur
cartilage
ο‚› Superior contact surface
should be sloping
ο‚› Margins should be smooth
ο‚› Inferior drilled and socket
created for stapes head
Myringoplatinopexy
ο‚› Absence of stapes superstructure, with or
without malleus difficult for reconstruction
ο‚› Malleus transposition
ο‚› Long columella technique
Long columella
ο‚› Shaping of malleus – handle
removed and reshaped
ο‚› Cartilage graft – superior
surface enough contact with
margins blunted, inferior part is
blunted to fit to footplate area
without touching facial
promontory
Placement
ο‚› Mobility of footplate is confirmed,
rectangular temporalis fascia kept
over footplate and spread partly on
facial canal and promontory
ο‚› Shaped ossicle placed between
footplate and neotympanum –
supported by gelfoam
Long columella ossiculoplasty
Cartilage graft
Cartilage graft
ο‚› Biocompatible
ο‚› Inexpensive
ο‚› Easy to handle
ο‚› Disadvantages – challenging, prion disease, HIV
transmission, extrusion rates, necrosis of cartilage
Conclusion
ο‚› Factors of success – SPITE
ο‚› Principles of ossiculoplasty – TRACS
ο‚› AUSTIN & WULLSTEIN
ο‚› Careful attention must be played to principles
of ossiculoplasty so that there is assurance of
better hearing outcome for the patient
THANK YOU

Ossiculoplasty

  • 1. OSSICULOPLAST Y DR. AJAY MANICKAM JUNIOR RESIDENT MS ENT RG KAR MEDICAL COLLEGE
  • 2. THE OSSICULOPLASTY ο‚› Reconstruction of the ossicular chain – aims to surgically optimize the middle ear transformer mechanism. ο‚› Sound from the environment is conducted to inner ear fluid with minimal loss
  • 3. History ο‚› 1957 – ossicular repositioning was described ο‚› Plastic prosthesis – high extrusion, stapes footplate fistula ο‚› Homografts – convenient – but viral or prion disease risk ο‚› Wire prosthesis - stainless steel wires, platinum better tolerated but displaced over time
  • 4. An Ideal prosthesis ο‚› Durable ο‚› Biocompatible ο‚› Easy to manipulate material
  • 5. Plastipore ο‚› Alloplast made from High Density Polyethylene sponge (HDPS) ο‚› TORP, PORP ο‚› Thermal fused HDPS – Polycel ο‚› However its necessary to cover plastipore with cartilage to minimize extrusion
  • 6. Ceramic Implants ο‚› 1979 ο‚› Bio inert and bio active ο‚› Unfortunately higher extrusion
  • 7. Hydroxylapatite ο‚› Bioactive implant with ca2+ and phosphorous to human bone ο‚› Osseointegeration ο‚› Can come into direct contact with tympanic membrane
  • 8. Hybrid prosthesis ο‚› Tolerance of tympanic membrane contact ο‚› Flexibility of plastipore ο‚› Hybrid prosthesis with hydroxyl apatite head shafts made of teflon, platinum or stainless steel ο‚› Bone cements – limited erosions
  • 9. Pre operative assesment ο‚› Otoscopy, HRCT, audiometry ο‚› Intraoperative decisions more important
  • 10. The planning ο‚› Healthy ears or chronic diseased ears ο‚› If active disease – priority to make middle ear mastoid disease free
  • 11. Factors resulting in success ο‚› S – Surgery (open or closed mastoid) ο‚› P – Prosthesis type ο‚› I – Infection +/- ο‚› T – Tissue health ο‚› E – Eustachian tube function
  • 12. AUSTIN’S CLASSIFICATION Malleus handle (M+, M-) Stapes superstructure (S+, S-) ο‚› Type A (M+, S+) ο‚› Type B (M+, S-) ο‚› Type C (M-, S+) ο‚› Type D (M-, S-)
  • 13. Wullstein classification ο‚› Type 1 – no need for reconstruction ο‚› Type 2 – graft placed over remaining malleus/long pro incus ο‚› Type 3 (1) minor columella ο‚› Type 3 (2) major columella ο‚› Type 4 – graft over stapes footplate ο‚› Type 5 – graft over an open oval window sound transmission to pass to fenestrated LSCC
  • 14. Principles of ossiculoplasty ο‚› T – Tension with which implant placed ο‚› R – Round window protection ο‚› A – Angle (45 – 90) ο‚› C – Centred (prosthesis to TM) ο‚› S – Space (>0.3ml, N= 1ml)
  • 15. Type A ο‚› Favourable relationship ο‚› Unfavourable relationship
  • 16. Favourable relationship ο‚› Lenticular process of incus is eroded and the manudrium is in close proximity ο‚› Interpositioning graft ο‚› Drilled with 0.5 mm diamond burr ο‚› Sculpted incus must exceed the size of gap ο‚› Malleus must be pushed anterolaterally
  • 18. Unfavourable relationship ο‚› Manubrium positioned far anterior to stapes superstructure ο‚› PORP is suggested in such conditions ο‚› Smaller defect – hydroxylapetite bone cement
  • 19. Type B & Type D ο‚› TORP ο‚› Long term results unsatisfactory as the medial slurt can be displaced ο‚› Cartilage shoe is helpful – size of oval window niche, hole in center to accommodate TORP
  • 20. Type B & D TORP
  • 21. Type B & D
  • 22. Type C ο‚› PORP ο‚› Cartilage graft placed medial to TM effective in reducing the extrusion rates of Titanium and Hydroxylapatite
  • 24. Factors to be coordinated ο‚› Anterior mesotympanum to be packed with gelfoam and TM positioned ο‚› Graft gently elevated ο‚› Prosthesis placement ο‚› Cartilage interposition ο‚› Graft to final position
  • 25. Malleus fixation syndrome ο‚› Difficult to diagnose preoperatively ο‚› Tympanosclerosis ο‚› Chr. Infection ο‚› Trauma ο‚› Paget’s disease ο‚› Ligament ossification ο‚› Otosclerosis ο‚› Congenital & Idiopathic disorders
  • 26. Approach ο‚› Atticotomy ο‚› Absorbable esterified hyaluronate is interposed and left in place
  • 27. Revision surgery ο‚› Long term success results are good ο‚› Control of chronic disease and ET dysfn ο‚› CT scan – defines better ο‚› LASER to lyse adhesions ο‚› Lots of adhesion – silastic sheeting over promontory ο‚› Failed TORP – inspect fistula - repair with graft
  • 29. Myringostapediopexy ο‚› Short columella ossiculoplasty – allogenic septal spur cartilage or autogenic/allogenic incus graft ο‚› Steps of surgery
  • 30. Shaping of cartilage graft ο‚› Allograft septal spur cartilage ο‚› Superior contact surface should be sloping ο‚› Margins should be smooth ο‚› Inferior drilled and socket created for stapes head
  • 31. Myringoplatinopexy ο‚› Absence of stapes superstructure, with or without malleus difficult for reconstruction ο‚› Malleus transposition ο‚› Long columella technique
  • 32. Long columella ο‚› Shaping of malleus – handle removed and reshaped ο‚› Cartilage graft – superior surface enough contact with margins blunted, inferior part is blunted to fit to footplate area without touching facial promontory
  • 33. Placement ο‚› Mobility of footplate is confirmed, rectangular temporalis fascia kept over footplate and spread partly on facial canal and promontory ο‚› Shaped ossicle placed between footplate and neotympanum – supported by gelfoam
  • 35. Cartilage graft Cartilage graft ο‚› Biocompatible ο‚› Inexpensive ο‚› Easy to handle ο‚› Disadvantages – challenging, prion disease, HIV transmission, extrusion rates, necrosis of cartilage
  • 36. Conclusion ο‚› Factors of success – SPITE ο‚› Principles of ossiculoplasty – TRACS ο‚› AUSTIN & WULLSTEIN ο‚› Careful attention must be played to principles of ossiculoplasty so that there is assurance of better hearing outcome for the patient
