Abstract

To compare modifications in the surgical technique of congenital aural atresia (use of argon laser, thinner split-thickness skin graft, Silastic sheets in the external auditory canal, and Merocel wicks) by examining hearing results and complications before and after initiation of these changes. Retrospective chart review of patients who underwent congenital aural atresiaplasty between 1985 and 2002 in a tertiary referral neurotologic private practice. Complication rates and hearing results were compared before (n = 36) and after (n = 80) modifications in the surgical technique. Closure of the air-bone gap to 30 dB or less at short-term follow-up occurred in 63.1% of surgeries performed after modifications in the surgical technique and 44.5% of surgeries performed before these changes. The long-term postoperative air-bone gap was 30 dB or less in 50.0% of the surgeries performed after and 47.1% of the cases performed before the changes in surgical technique. Soft tissue stenosis and bony growth of the external auditory canal were seen in 3.8% of surgeries performed after and 13.9% of surgeries performed before the surgical technique changes. Ossicular chain refixation occurred in 3.8% of surgeries performed after and 25.0% of su...Continue Reading
