Abstract
A new technique was demonstrated in chronic otitis media with inflammatory stenosis of eustachian tube. Bone exposure of the eustachian tube and of peritubal air cells was followed by implantation of silicon in this space. Postoperative care was taken to ensure wound healing in the same way as is carried out for conservative radical mastoidectomy.
At the second operation, eustachian tube and anterior tympanum was found to be reconstructed with an intact mucous membrane.
Middle ear space can be easily rebuilt with tragal cartilage.
