  • Title: Review. Six years experience of Plastipore.
    Author: Kerr AI.
    Journal: Clin Otolaryngol Allied Sci; 1984 Dec; 9(6):361-7. PubMed ID: 6532608.
    Abstract:
    A 6 year personal experience in the performance of Plastipore prostheses in middle ear reconstruction is presented. The good hearing results at 12 months are not maintained with TORPs or PORPs and 41.6% have been rejected. Better results are obtained with a tube prosthesis between a mobile malleus and stapes. The use of TORP and PORP has now been abandoned in favour of ossicles or homograft cartilage.
