Abstract:
In patients with acquired stenosis of external auditory canal, traditional canaloplasty surgery using skin graft may be performed when symptoms are severe or persistent. However, the risk of restenosis during follow-up period remains a main concern for surgeons. Herein, we present a novel surgical technique using wide cortical bone drilling and reconstruction using the anterior-based periosteal flap. We also report the preliminary results of case series using this surgical technique comparing it with the traditional method.
