Introduction: Disjunction of ossicular chain is a common finding in middle ear chronic disease. In addition to ossicular interposition, various materials have been used for reconstruction, such as ceramic prostheses, polyethylene, and titanium.
Objective: Because of the high cost of the available options, the authors propose to reconstruct the ossicular chain with resin cement, a material typically used in dental reconstruction and fixation.
Methods: Two anatomical parts of the temporal bones were used, creating a disjunction of the ossicular chain between the incus and staples and then reconstructing with resin cement. These reconstructions were repeated four times by three different surgeons to ensure the feasibility of the method.
Results: A total of 12 reconstructions were carried out, four per surgeon. After applying the cement, it could be verified by touch that the space was filled properly by the used material. Proper articulation with motion transfer to the entire ossicular chain was also observed.
Conclusion: Resin cement is a suitable material in the reconstruction of ossicular chain injury, and it is inexpensive and technically simple.

Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) is an uncommon congenital disorder predominantly involving craniofacial, orbital, and otological structures. The various ear malformations seen in 9 patients with TCS are described. TCS predominantly affects the external and middle ear structures, with inner ear structures being relatively spared, not unexpected given the dual embryological origin of the human ear.

Objective: The aim of this study is to detail and evaluate the surgical procedure for perilymph sampling from the cochlear apex in the Mongolian gerbil.
Design: Perilymph sampling from the cochlear apex was performed one to three time in 12 male gerbils aged 8 to 12 months via the submandibular route. 11 of them were previously implanted with intracochlear implants loaded with dexamethasone and placed in the scala tympani, the 12th was used to collect control samples.

Temporal bone CT is an essential technique for diagnosing ossicular chain trauma, and the location of standard observation planes (SOP) is the foundation of imaging diagnosis. The ossicular chain is small in volume, and there are about 11 standard observation planes for ossicular chain diagnosis, so it is a professional and time-consuming task to label SOPs accurately. An automatic annotation method of SOP is proposed.
