Introduction
Ossiculoplasty is a specialized ENT surgical procedure performed to repair or reconstruct the ossicular chain — the tiny bones of the middle ear (malleus, incus, and stapes) responsible for sound transmission.
Damage or disruption of these bones can result in conductive hearing loss, often caused by chronic ear infections, trauma, cholesteatoma, or previous ear surgery.
The goal of ossiculoplasty is to restore sound conduction and improve hearing by repairing or replacing damaged ossicles using biocompatible prostheses or reshaping existing bones.
