“…Early operators used a variety of instruments including electrolysis (Clark, 1923) to attack exostoses, but the hammer and chisel era (Tod, 1910;Kopetzky, 1925;Hubby, 1947) led to the dental drill and currently a variety of high speed burrs under microscopic control (Mawson, 1967). The mallet and chisel can still be applied to the pedicle of the osteomata, although this in theory risks a fracture line across the facial canal (Hubby, 1947;Sheehy, 1958).…”

The popularity of water sports in Western Australia results in a high demand for surgery for meatal exostoses when compared to Europe or North America, and such procedures for advanced exostoses present a technical challenge.We report on a decade of experience in exostosis and osteoma surgery consisting of 127 procedures on 102 patients. Exostectomy was an access manoeuvre for other otological procedures in 13 cases and five procedures were for regrowth of exostoses. Minor complications were seen after 22 per cent of operations. Major complications were experienced after five per cent for example canal stenosis, temporomandibular joint prolapse, sensorineural loss, persistent deep bony lip and persistent tympanic membrane perforation. There were no facial palsies.Exostosis surgery should be reserved for failed conservative treatment and attention focused on adequate access, meatal skin preservation and tympanic membrane protection. An approach which concentrates on safe anterior landmarks and wide exposure is recommended to avoid serious complications.

“…The final stage involved an understanding and acknowledgment of the works of Kopetzky and Almour for the drainage of petrous apicitis and comprehending the limitations of the technique. 15,16,22,23 Lempert divided his approach into several stages. The first stage involved performing a complete mastoidectomy to expose the base of the petrous pyramid.…”

Early Conquest of the Rock: Julius Lempert's Life and the Complete Apicectomy Technique for the Treatment of Suppurative Petrous Apicitis

Julius Lempert (1891?1968) was one of the most revolutionary and innovative neuro-otologists of the 20th century. He had a remarkable role in advancing the field of otolaryngology to its modern shape and form, especially through his groundbreaking introduction of the fenestration procedure for the treatment of otosclerosis. Although he is highly celebrated by many neuro-otologists for his contributions to our surgical and anatomical understanding of the petrous bone, he is not well known to the neurosurgical community. In this article, we give a detailed account of Dr. Lempert's life and discuss his invaluable contribution to skull base petrous bone anatomy and surgery through his pioneering work on the complete apicectomy for the treatment of suppurative petrous apicitis.
