Comparative study of new autologous material, bone‐cartilage composite graft, for ossiculoplasty with Polycel® and Titanium

Ossiculoplasty is a surgical procedure that recreates sound transmission of the middle ear in conductive hearing loss. Various materials have been used for ossicular reconstruction, but the most ideal material for ossiculoplasty remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to introduce a novel method of autologous ossiculoplasty, bone‐cartilage composite graft (BCCG) and to compare its surgical results with different types of ossiculoplastic prostheses.
