Mastoid Obliteration: Histopathological Study of Three Temporal Bones

Osteogenesis and Ototoxicity of a Novel Preparation of Autogenous Bone Cement: Implications for Mastoid Obliteration

“…Some clinicians have a preference for autogenous materials because of lower costs, convenience, and excellent biocompatibility. [10][11][12] However, some of these materials provide less structural support and can have inappropriate degradation periods. 13 Ojala et al 14 reported that musculoperiosteal flaps eventually shrank when used as the filler material.…”

“…Derald et al 9 reported failed cases with the use of β‐tricalcium phosphate in mastoid obliteration because of the lack of biocompatibility. Some clinicians have a preference for autogenous materials because of lower costs, convenience, and excellent biocompatibility 10‐12 . However, some of these materials provide less structural support and can have inappropriate degradation periods 13 .…”

Obliteration of temporal dorsal bulla in guinea pigs using different types of calcium phosphate

“…Ear surgeons usually use local flaps, autologous cartilage, or some fatty tissues to fill the mastoid cavities [1][2][3][4][5]. However, in many cases it is difficult to obtain sufficient tissue to obliterate large cavities and sometimes these tissues can atrophy and involute as time goes on [3,16].…”

“…However, in many cases it is difficult to obtain sufficient tissue to obliterate large cavities and sometimes these tissues can atrophy and involute as time goes on [3,16]. As a result, synthetic bioactive materials are used to reconstruct mastoid defect.…”

Role of ossiculoplasty in canal wall down tympanoplasty for middle-ear cholesteatoma: hearing results

“…2 However, in spite of better hearing results for this procedure, recurrence rates seemed to be higher than for canal wall down tympanoplasty, and more than one surgical procedure was often needed. 3,4 Therefore, the ideal procedure for middle-ear cholesteatoma should be a canal wall down tympanoplasty 9 -11 with special attention paid to optimising hearing results. Although this procedure is currently widely performed, few papers report actual hearing results.…”
