We evaluated the postoperative hearing results of 209 cases who underwent tympanoplasty type IV between January 1990 and June 2006 in our department. Using the postoperative hearing result assessment criteria according to the Japan Society of Otology in 2000, hearing was evaluated in at least 6 months after surgery. In the case of non-inflammatory disease such as ossicular chain dislocation or middle ear abnormality, successful hearing results were obtained in 90% of the patients who underwent tympanoplasty type IV-i, while the same successful results were obtained in 89.7% in type IV-c. In the case of congenital cholesteatoma, successful hearing results were obtained in 75% in type IV-i and 72.4% in type IV-c. In the case of acquired cholesteatoma, successful hearing results were obtained in 44.4% in type IV-i and 34.4% in type IV-c. The successful hearing results of tympanoplasty type IV-i was superior to that of type N-c in each group. When the postoperative hearing results were analyzed according to the type of materials for ossiculoplasty, there was no significant difference between homograft cartilage, homograft bone, and artificial allograft prostheses. These findings indicated that tympanoplasty type IV-i was considered to be selected in the case of inflammatory disease, if they were available due to the condition of diseases.

This retrospective study included 18 children with congenital inner ear malformations received cochlear implantation. Nine cases had classical Mondini anomalies, 4 large vestibular aqueduct syndrome, 3 semicircular canal aplasia and the remaining 2 inner auditory canal anomaly and cochlear hypoplasia. The congenital inner ear malformations consisted 17% in all 108 children receiving cochlear implants. Fifteen cases underwent cochlear implantation with posterior tympanotomy via mastoid cavity. On the other hand, 3 cases with middle ear malformations, including hypoplasia of the mastoid cavity, required trans-external auditory canal approach, and one of them showed an abnormal route of the facial nerve. Although cerebrospinal fluid leakage was encountered during cochleostomy in 4 cases, none of them required middle ear cavity obliteration or spinal drainage. Seven cases, including Mondini anomaly, semicircular canal dysplasia and cochlear hypoplasia, showed no electrically evoked compound action potential in intra-operative neural response telemetry (NRT) measurements. Speech recognition tests at 2 years after implantation showed good results except for 2 children with semicircular canal aplasia and one of the Mondini anomaly cases.
