    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 1985 Feb; 99(2):137-41. PubMed ID: 3973477.
    Abstract:
    Hearing results and causes of failure with three types of ossicular reconstruction techniques over an intact stapes, during second-stage intact canal wall tympanoplasty, are reported herein. The three types of reconstruction are: fitted autologous incus (38 cases); Plastipore PORP with cartilage (41 cases); Plastipore PORP without cartilage (32 cases). A residual air-bone gap within 15 dB. was found in 63.2 per cent of fitted includes, in 41.5 per cent of PORPs with cartilage, and in only 37 per cent of PORPs without cartilage. Eighty-four per cent fitted incudes, 63 per cent PORPs with cartilage and 44 per cent PORPs without cartilage yielded a residual air-bone gap within 25 dB. Extrusion has been the main cause of failure among Plastipore prostheses.
