The author attempted a pathological study of the re-construction of the ossicular chain by using normal rabbits. Following results were obtained.
1. One or two weeks after the operation the plastic flap became inflamed in acute, and gradually it was organized and had the tendency of healing. And about one monthlater it formed epithelium.
2. The re-construction of the ossicular chain was usnful not for conductivechain, but for the support to tympanic membrane. Functionally it was useful only for columellization.
3. Degeneration of the tympanic ossicles was caused not only by the inflammatory difficulation of circulation of blood, but also by bad nurtrition of bones themselves.
