Ossicular Chain Reconstruction

Definition

Ossicular chain reconstruction is a surgical procedure aimed at repairing or replacing the damaged or disrupted ossicles in the middle ear. The ossicles, comprising the malleus, incus, and stapes, are responsible for transmitting sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear. This procedure helps restore hearing function and alleviate symptoms associated with middle ear disorders.
