Abstract

Ossicular discontinuity usually cannot be determined unless an operation is performed. However, the predictive value of preoperative audiological factors in diagnosing incudal necrosis in patients with chronic otitis media (COM) – mucosal type is reasonably accurate. Ossiculoplasty was performed with autologous incus, and audiometric assessment was done to compare the hearing improvement postoperatively.
