Abstract
It is well known that the inner ear and stapes function retain their normal condition and hearing improvement is achieved by carrying out meatoplasty, myringoplasty and ossiculoplasty in patients with congenital ear canal atresia or stenosis. Patients who undergo meatotympanoplasty are expected to have improved daily life because of their young age.
Recently, we operated on 8 ears of 6 patients (two bilateral patients), aged from 5 to 16 years,7 with atresia and one with stenosis.
Meatotympanoplasty for congenital microtia and auditory canal atresia or stenosis is good news for children suffering from this disease.
