(3) The reshaped incus is repositioned between the malleus handle and oval window when the stapes is fixed and there also exists a lateral ossicular chain defect.
(4) The short process prosthesis is used with an intact stapes, whereas the notched incus with long process carries the sound pressure directly to the stapedial footplate.
(5) In the polyethylene tube group, 1 ear showed the growth of new bone into the lumen of the tube and 1 showed minor resorption of the long process of the incus.
(6) Since 1981, we have used the stapes allograft, singly or in combination with homograft incus, in 20 cases of tympanoplasty and in 7 cases of fixed stapes.
(7) To achieve better hearing after incus replacement surgery, the ossicle-cup prosthesis is introduced.
(8) Incus, incus-stapes, and total ossicular replacement prosthesis results were similar, but partial ossicular replacement prosthesis results were poorer.
(9) Measurements of tympanic membrane surface area; depth of the tympanic membrane cone; the lengths of the malleus and incus long processes; and stapes footplate, annular space, and oval window areas were obtained using video micrographs and computer digitization techniques.
(10) The stapes was extracted from the vestibulum the same day and was fixed to the incus with fibrin sealant in an anatomical position.
(11) For each of four implant designs (incus, incus-stapes, PORP, and TORP), the head is constructed from hydroxylapatite and the shaft from Plasti-Pore.

(13) We report on a 5-year experience with 44 patients (1980-1985) with incus interposition using a modelled or sculptured incus, either autograft or homograft, to correct ossicular discontinuity when a functional malleus and stapes are present.
(14) A stapes prosthesis is placed on the long process of the incus.
(15) The results of this assembly, judging by different methods of analysis, are the same as in 45 ears having approximately the same pathologic condition treated by an autograft or allograft incus as the columella between the footplate and eardrum.
(16) A case of a Gorlin-Goltz-syndrome with anomalies of the stapes and incus of one ear is described for the first time.
(17) A theory is suggested in which an elongated capsule allows incus motion without energy transmission to the stapes.
(18) To measure these effects in the area of the oval window, in isolated temporal bones the stapes was removed and substituted by a piece of plastipore, attached to the incus.
(19) Hearing success was defined as a postoperative puretone average air-bone gap of < or = 15 dB for incus prostheses and partial ossicular replacement prostheses (PORPs) or < or = 25 dB for incus-stapes prostheses and total ossicular reconstruction prostheses (TORPs).
(20) The long-term results of this assembly, judging by different methods of analysis, are still somewhat better than those of 98 ears with approximately the same pathologic condition treated by an allograft incus as the columella between the footplate and fascia.
