Abstract:
Removing of foreign bodies in the external auditory canal is commonly observed in the otorhinolaryngologic field. Sometimes the size of some materials might change after being embedded in the canal; in such situation, debulking procedures are usually performed to reduce the size of the materials stuck there. But if it is hard to shrink the materials' size, we should consider other procedures. Here we present a minimized procedure utilized to remove nettlesome fragments of industrial cement via 3-dimensional reconstruction of temporal bone computed tomography and partial canaloplasty through transcanal approach.
