Disease relevance of Tympanoplasty

• The groups underwent combined approach tympanoplasty (CAT), mastoid tympanoplasty with obliteration (MOT), and modified radical mastoidectomy (MRM) respectively for cholesteatoma [1].
• CONCLUSION: In children with primary ciliary dyskinesia, tympanoplasty has a high probability of graft success and auditory improvement, despite the frequent recurrence of serous otitis media [2].
• CONCLUSION: Desflurane, sevoflurane or isoflurane combined with remifentanil provided adequate induced hypotension and similar operating conditions and any of them could be safely and equally used in anaesthesia for tympanoplasty [3].
• Sensorineural high-frequency hearing loss after drill-generated acoustic trauma in tympanoplasty [4].
• Mucociliary and equipressive eustachian tube functions have been studied, using saccharin solution (five per cent sodium saccharinate) and tubal manometry respectively, in 58 ears with chronic disease undergoing tympanoplasty [5].

High impact information on Tympanoplasty

• When given for several days before mastoidectomy and tympanoplasty, ticarcillin sterilized the mastoids in the majority of patients [6].
• For the purpose of this comparison, Ringer's solutions containing no lactate, sodium L-lactate, or racemic lactate at a concentration of 84 mEq/L (three times more than the ordinary level) were infused in patients under general anesthesia during tympanoplasty [7].
• Two anaesthetic procedures that did not include nitrous oxide were compared in a randomised study of 50 patients for tympanoplasty and tympanoscopy: propofol given for induction and maintenance, and thiopentone-isoflurane given for induction and maintenance, respectively [8].
• Effects of sevoflurane and desflurane on cytokine response during tympanoplasty surgery [9].
• METHODS: Sixty ASA I-II patients, scheduled for tympanoplasty, were randomly allocated to be anaesthetized with either sevoflurane or desflurane at maintenance inspiratory concentrations of 1-1.5 MAC of either agent [9].

Chemical compound and disease context of Tympanoplasty

• We report the use of potassium titanyl phosphate laser-assisted tympanoplasty in amputations of the malleus and incus in 2 patients with cholesteatoma medial to those ossicles that had not destroyed the ossicular chain continuity [10].

Anatomical context of Tympanoplasty

• The efficacy of hyaluronic acid foam as a middle ear packing agent in experimental tympanoplasty [11].
• In an effort to investigate the role of eustachian tube function on the outcome, we tested the tubal function in 63 ears (56 children) undergoing tympanoplasty for central perforations [12].
• The formaldehyde fasciaform tympanoplasty technique produces consistent, reliable, and reproducible results for large tympanic membrane perforations [13].
• Regenerated middle ear mucosa after tympanoplasty. Part II. Scanning electron microscopy [14].

Associations of Tympanoplasty with chemical compounds

• A review of 925 cases of tympanoplasty using formaldehyde-formed-fascia grafts [15].
• The efficacy of hyaluronic acid when utilized in tympanoplasty was investigated in a multicenter, randomized, prospective patient blinded study [16].
• A comparison of ondansetron and prochlorperazine for the prevention of nausea and vomiting after tympanoplasty [17].
• CONCLUSION: Prophylactic prochlorperazine 0.2 mg.kg-1 i.m. and ondansetron 0.06 mg.kg-1 i.v. are similarly efficacious in reducing nausea with vomiting after tympanoplasty, while prochlorperazine 0.1 mg.kg-1 i.v. is less efficacious [17].
• It was concluded that the hydroxyapatite granules are safe and useful for mastoid obliteration during tympanoplasty [18].

Gene context of Tympanoplasty

• One of the primary causes of tympanoplasty failure is inadequate eustachian tubal function [19].
• Overlay versus underlay tympanoplasty. Part II: the study [20].
• Of 16 patients undergoing tympanoplasty or tympanomastoidectomy who served as controls, none were positive for beta-2 transferrin [21].
• Pediatric tympanoplasty. A 10-year experience [22].
• Two patients with Treacher Collins syndrome undergoing tympanoplasty are reported in whom a laryngeal mask was used in place of an endotracheal tube for airway maintenance [23].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Tympanoplasty

• Preliminary functional results of tympanoplasty with titanium prostheses [24].
• The breathing system was then closed and patients were anesthetized using 60% xenon in oxygen, supplemented with epidural anesthesia in the abdominal surgery group and sevoflurane in the tympanoplasty group [25].
• METHODS: This retrospective study was carried out from the records pertaining to all patients who had tympanoplasty type-1 at King Fahd Specialist Hospital, Buraidah, Al-Qassim, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, during the years April 1995 through to April 2000 [26].
• Regenerated middle ear mucosa after tympanoplasty. Part I. Transmission electron microscopy [27].
