The Eustachian Tube Prosthesis Revisited

Preliminary results with an eustachian tube prosthesis have been reported. This paper updates our experience with the prosthesis. Our series is now 95 patients with follow-up of 2 to 32 months (average of 14 months). The success rate in obtaining a healed aerated middle ear is 75% (71). The eustachian tube prosthesis continues to give encouraging results in problem tympanoplasty cases.
