Abstract

The use of artificial ossicles in tympanoplasty, especially ceramic ossicles was reviewed. We designed new types of ceramic artificial ossicles whose head was semicircularly removed on both side. They can be easily grasped by ear forceps and a total view of the stapes is obtained through the opening, so the orientation of the tips of PORP and TORP can be done more easily and securely. We described the details of the techniques of ceramic artificial ossicles insertion during tympanoplasty.
