Adverse skin reactions following percutaneous bone conduction implant surgery using the linear incision technique with and without subcutaneous tissue reduction.

Conclusions: Adverse skin reactions were equally distributed among age groups, surgical technique, or presence of a retroauricular incision. Implant loss was observed more frequently in children when compared to adults and elderly.

Objective: A bone conduction (osseointegrated) implant can be used for rehabilitation of patients with conductive hearing loss or single-sided deafness.

Temporary removal of the posterior bony canal wall with reconstruction using microplate osteosynthesis in cholesteatoma surgery: a case series and description of the technique.

We describe the surgical technique of temporary removal of the posterior auditory canal wall with reconstruction and report the outcome of using this technique as a treatment method for cholesteatoma in a case series. In 32 cases of cholesteatoma surgery a technique of temporary removal of the posterior bony wall was applied. During primary surgery the posterior auditory canal wall was removed using an oscillating saw.
