Come posizionare la protesi acustica impiantabile OSIA
The CochlearT Osia* system is an active bone conduction implant indicated for patients with conductive or mixed hearing loss. We describe a refined surgical technique using a double flap incision cutaneous and musculoperiosteal to improve exposure and reduce complications. Five patients were treated with this method.
Factors influencing audiologic outcomes in ossiculoplasty for chronic otitis media: a prospective multicentre study
Chronic otitis media (COM) is a prevalent condition affecting auditory function. Ossiculoplasty is a known treatment strategy, but its effectiveness concerning the presence of cholesteatoma has not been extensively studied.
Orthopedic Surgery Position Enhances Safety in Adults with Cervical Rigidity during Cochlear Implantation
Cochlear implantation is the therapy used for patients with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss. For the success of the surgery, it is important that each surgical step is performed with meticulous precision, starting from the correct patient position on the operating table. In elderly or obese patients, this can be difficult to achieve due […]
New Instruments for the Management of Cochlear Implantation in an Individual with a Fracture of the Temporal Bone and Cochlear Ossification
Individuals who have suffered a temporal bone fracture, especially transversal fractures, can exhibit deep neuro sensorial hypoacusis. Tis can be due to several causes, including trauma to the otic capsule with damage to the organ of Corti and stria vascularis, damage to the neuroepithelium with a loss of ciliated cells and the spiral ganglion, and […]
Negative Outcome of Temporalis Fascia Graft in Tympanoplasty with Excessive Bleeding: A Retrospective Study
Non-autologous graft materials hold promise for tympanic membrane (TM) perforation closure. In the present manuscript, we aimed to evaluate the influence of clinical and surgical (i.e., graft materials) characteristics on tympanoplasty outcome in chronic otitis media (COM).
Hearing Status and Ventilation Tube at Time of Palatoplasty in Cleft Lip and Palate Patients: A Retrospective Study
There is no consensus regarding the indications for and timing of ventilation tube (VT) insertion in cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients. Our aim was to search for clinical and surgical (i.e., VT insertion) characteristics that influence the hearing status in CLP.

Ossicular chain reconstruction using costal cartilage in malleoincudal osteoma
Osteomas of the temporal bone are benign tumours that usually involve the external auditory canal. Middle-ear osteomas are rare, and generally solitary and small. The male-to-female ratio is 2:1, with 70 per cent of affected patients aged under 40 years.
Survey italiana sulla vertigine parossistica posizionale
La vertigine parossistica posizionale benigna (VPPB) è il tipo più comune di vertigini e periferica. Frequentemente dopo il primo episodio la VPPB presenta recidive, con un tasso di ricorrenza tra il 15% ed il 50%.
Surgical treatment of labirintine fistula
Labyrinthine fistula represents the most common complication in chronic otitis media, especially in cholesteatoma cases.
