ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TRANSPLANTS BY CLINICAL AND ANATOMICAL RESULTS
Keywords
Abstract
The clinical course of the inflammatory process in the middle ear in most cases ends with the healing of the eardrum, leaving gross scar changes and salt deposits, or persistent perforation remains on the eardrum, which naturally leads to varying degrees of hearing loss. As is known, the insufficient effectiveness of conservative treatment methods, the high degree of hearing loss in chronic inflammatory processes in the middle ear at the present stage of development of otosurgery , dictated the need to develop methods of gentle sanitizing operations as the first stage of functional reconstructive operations - tympanoplasty . Naturally, this led to further searches for the most optimal methods of gentle operations, the development of one-, two- and three-stage tympanoplasty . At the same time, to achieve the best surgical results, great importance was attached to preserving the architectonics of the external auditory canal and the air cavities of the middle ear. In this regard, in recent years, “closed” methods of surgical treatment of chronic hemorrhagic obstruction using various plastic materials have become increasingly widespread.
