Professional Surgery Video on Endoscopic Ossiculoplasty with Cartilage Tympanoplasty

Endoscopic Ossiculoplasty – In this professional surgical demonstration, Dr. Akbar Abbas presents an innovative technique of endoscopic ossiculoplasty combined with cartilage tympanoplasty.

The procedure involves reconstruction of the eroded long process of the incus using glass ionomer luting cement, while the malleus and stapes superstructure are preserved. This simple, cost-effective method avoids the need for expensive prostheses and achieves reliable restoration of the ossicular chain.

✨ Key Steps Shown in the Video:

• Application of glass ionomer cement to reconstitute the incus–stapes connection
• Placement of temporalis fascia graft over the malleus handle and tympanic membrane remnant
• Reinforcement with notched conchal cartilage for stability and protection
• Use of gel-foam in the external canal and subcuticular closure without sutures
• Safe, efficient day-care surgery with excellent outcomes

💡 Advantages:

• Affordable alternative to costly implants
• Biocompatible and durable material
• Preserves middle ear mobility
• Strong long-term results
