The air-bone gap results werefound to be 100%, 87.5% and 12.5% in the mild, moderate, and severe MERI groups, respectively.Discussion and Conclusion: In line with the literature, we observed that preoperative MERIscoring might help surgeons develop a patient-specific operation strategy by providingguidance during ossiculoplasty.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Aim: This study aimed to assess the effects of preoperatively measured middle ear riskindex (MERI) and intraoperative ossicular chain findings on postoperative hearing in patients who underwent ossiculoplasty performed by using universal titanium prostheses.Materials and Methods: Patients who underwent ear surgery using universal titaniumprostheses due to malfunctioning in the incus were included.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Preoperative and postoperative air-conduction and bone-conduction hearing thresholds and air-bone gap wereassessed at 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 kHz frequencies.Results: We found that presence of the malleus and stapes suprastructure and prognosticMERI grading affected the reconstruction success rate.

Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to assess the effects of preoperatively measured middle ear riskindex (MERI) and intraoperative ossicular chain findings on postoperative hearing in patients who underwent ossiculoplasty performed by using universal titanium prostheses.Materials and Methods: Patients who underwent ear surgery using universal titaniumprostheses due to malfunctioning in the incus were included. Preoperative ear examination results, surgical findings, and MERI scores were assessed. Preoperative and postoperative air-conduction and bone-conduction hearing thresholds and air-bone gap wereassessed at 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 kHz frequencies.Results: We found that presence of the malleus and stapes suprastructure and prognosticMERI grading affected the reconstruction success rate. The air-bone gap results werefound to be 100%, 87.5% and 12.5% in the mild, moderate, and severe MERI groups, respectively.Discussion and Conclusion: In line with the literature, we observed that preoperative MERIscoring might help surgeons develop a patient-specific operation strategy by providingguidance during ossiculoplasty.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada evrensel titanyum protezler kullanılarak ossiküloplasti yapılan hastalarda ameliyat öncesi ölçülen orta kulak risk indeksi (OKRİ) ve intraoperatif kemikçik zinciri bulgularının postoperatif işitme üzerine etkilerini değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya inkusu arızalı olup evrensel titanyum protez kullanılarak kulak cerrahisi yapılan hastalar dahil edildi. Preoperatif kulak muayenesi sonuçları, OKRİ skorları ve ameliyat bulguları değerlendirildi. Preoperatif ve postoperatif hava iletimi ve kemik iletimi işitme eşikleri ve hava-kemik aralığı 0,5, 1, 2 ve 4 kHz frekanslarında değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çekiç kemiği ve üzengi suprastrüktürü varlığının ve prognostik OKRİ derecelendirmesinin rekonstrüksiyon başarı oranını etkilediği görüldü. Hava-kemik aralığı sonuçları hafif, orta ve ağır OKRİ gruplarında sırasıyla %100, %87,5 ve %12,5 olarak tespit edildi. Tartışma ve Sonuç: Literatürle uyumlu olarak, preoperatif OKRİ skorlarının cerrahlara ossiküloplasti sırasında rehberlik ederek hastaya özel operasyon stratejisi geliştirmede yardımcı olabileceği görülmüştür.
