Middle Ear Bone Replacement Surgeries
What is the success rate of middle ear bone replacement surgeries
Thu, 9 Sep 2010
Hi,
The success rates depends upon the type of Ossiculoplasty (reconstruction of the ossicular chain) done it is best for type 1 followed by type 2 and type 3. Again it depends upon the material used for reconstruction. Hence the hearing can only be assessed after the surgery is done.
