The ENT surgeon partially or completely repairs the ear’s sound conducting mechanism by either augmenting or reconstructing the damaged ossicles, using harvested ossicles or artificial prosthetics made of teflon, hydroxyapatite, or titanium etc.
The remaining part of this surgical procedure is quite similar to that of myringoplasty. ENT surgeons often combine ossiculoplasty with myringoplasty in a single procedure.
Ossiculoplasty typically involves reconstructing the ossicular chain using various materials, such as artificial prostheses, autografts (patient's own tissue), or allografts (donor tissue). The specific approach and materials used depend on the individual patient's condition and the surgeon's assessment.
