Introduction to Ossiculoplasty
 Ossiculoplasty in often performed in conjunction to
Timpanoplasty (link to the page of timpanoplasty), to
repair the damaged ear bones or ossicles. Damaged Ossicles
can lead to hearing loss. Ossiculoplasty is done with
the help of carefully designed artificial bones. This
is done either through incision hidden behind the ear
or through one made in the ear canal.
Procedure of Ossiculoplasty
After applying anesthesia to the patient undergoing
Ossiculoplasty, there is a surgical cut made behind
the ear, or in the ear canal. The ossicles or ear bones
that are damaged are then carefully removed and cleaned
and replaced with the artificially made bones.
Length of Ossiculoplasty
It normally takes a day to fully discharge the patient
undergoing Ossiculoplasty.
Side Effects of Ossiculoplasty
A successful Ossiculoplasty always repairs hearing,
though the extent of it depends on the extent of damage
and the type of artificial bones used. There can be
some amount of bleeding from the incision for the first
few days. Side effects of Ossiculoplasty such as increasing
hearing loss, pain, and discharge from ear, fever and
dizziness, one should immediately consult the doctor.
