"Underwater" Technique: Auditory Vestibular and Facial Nerve Preservation | Chapter 5 | Advanced Concepts in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 12

Labyrinthine fistula (LF) is a pathological condition with abnormal communication between the inner ear and the middle/mastoid cavity. LF usually depends on cholesteatoma and may cause hearing loss, dizziness, and facial palsy.

Surgical management is the treatment of choice since hearing preservation and the technique to perform are a source of debate.

Some authors retain the cholesteatoma matrix on the side of LF to avoid damage to cochlear function. The other management claims to totally remove cholesteatoma, repairing the labyrinth with bone sealing. In cases of cholesteatoma matrix removal, the fistula is commonly covered without suctioning and without drilling the bone labyrinth to reduce the risk of hearing.

In 2008, Magliulo et al. proposed a partial labyrinthectomy as a safe technique to treat LF with hearing preservation, performing the total removal of the cholesteatoma matrix and involving bone cover. This procedure may also be used in petrous bone cholesteatoma to preserve the labyrinth's anatomic structure and functional activity. The results showed a high rate of hearing preservation in both cases, which was also proved by radiological imaging. Therefore, the strength of this technique lies in the respect of the inner ear's anatomic structure and functional activity.

Radical Mastoidectomy: Long Term Results and Analysis | Chapter 9 | Novel Research Aspects in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 8

 We acted a long-term, backward-looking, non-controlled study on the anatomic (seepage), functional (trial) and reconstructive (ossiculoplasties) results of both radical and modified radical mastoidectomies. For ossicular chain rebuilding we used bioceramic implants of earliest origin and defined the mathematical relevant determinants that could influence the rate of insert rejection. In a cohort of 200 cases with mastoidectomies, we acted ossiculoplasies with bioceramic implants on 108 patients and attended them clinically for a ending of minimum 7 years. We have defined various factors that take care of influence the results of the implantation and intentional the statistic correlations. The denial rate after 9.12 age was 21% (23 patients). Histological integration rate was 79% (85 sufferers), similar to results stated in literature for both bioceramic and titanium implants. Hydroxyapatite has many of the ideal traits required expected a good prosthesis accompanying a high degree of biocompatibility, very low banishing rate, low risk of affliction transmission and good functional results. Although possibly considered of classical interest, bioceramic implants are cheaper and can be caused locally, that is a great benefit for struggling economies.On the alike inital cohort of 200 cases we defined the functional results by analitical function of the asperity and the period of progress of disease. These criteria maybe defined by determining the patient's pre-operative categorical hearing thresholds (AHT), bone broadcast threshold (BCT), and age event of surgery. The two parameters progress inversely equivalent to the functional results, resulting in a inclusive and exact analytical form. The global average learn gain ratio was 32% and the ratio for straight pre-operative trial (statu-quo ante) was 61%. With favorable prognostic determinants the average gain rate was 56% and the hearing-misfortune rate was 5% (1- dB SPL nominal value). The maximum ratio for gain was 81% and for trial loss was 0%.The drainge (fundamental) results, similar to earlier published functional results, are delimited by analitical function of the severity and the ending of evolution of disease. Our main aim was to delimit the situations and factors (attendance of complications, type of ailment, type of tympanic perforation or rank of ossicular chain) that influence the drainage results and could present us some somewhat anatomical prognosis. The effect started at the present of complete epithelization for each cavity as period represents the main study corresponding criteria. Drainage failure was evaluated by the number of otorrhea adventures. We conclude that nearly and ideally, we can clean out a maximum of 84% of the mastoid and rugged cells. Our results of 78% draninage happiness are congruent to this theory. The staying 16% of cells can contain irreversible lesions.

Significance of Clinico-Pathological Correlation of Various Ear Masses – A Study at a Tertiary Care Hospital of Western Gujarat| Chapter 12 | Perspective of Recent Advances in Medical Research Vol. 2

 Introduction:  A good number of cases of attention masses are pinpointed by clinical facts alone, but in a significant number of cases, histopathological equating is needed for correctly diagnosing the condition. Therefore, all types of small crowd in the ear demand incisional or excisional biopsy accompanying histopathological examination.Aims and Objectives: The study was aimed at aware the distribution of attention masses in miscellaneous age groups and different genders and appearance the histo-pathological range of ear masses.Methodology: A study of 50 victims attending the Ear, Nose, and Throat Department was approved, and specimens were calm from them and assign histopathological examination. These crowd were further classified as inflammatory, mild, and malignant lesions, and the repetitiveness of their occurrence in the Saurashtra domain of Gujarat (Western India), their age and sex allocation were observed.Observations: The most average lesions were inflammatory polyps, followed by cholesteatomas and never-ending non-specific inflammations. Squamous container carcinoma was ultimate common type of diseased lesion, trailed by embryonic rhabdomyosarcoma; carcinoid tumour and nevus were recognized on histopathological examination in favorable lesions.Right-side masses were more coarse than left-side public, and males were more overwhelmed than females.Conclusion: Ear masses influence all age groups, but males are troubled more than women. Adolescents and children were more afflicted by benign lesions than men, while the opposite was true for malignant lesions.
