[Value of oto-endoscopy in the follow-up treatment of cholesteatoma of the middle ear].

The endoscopic approach to the middle ear in eradication of cholesteatoma is now very frequently realised as in the control of the cavities of the middle ear in second stage of cholesteatomas for revision. The improvement of eradication will help to prevent recurrent cholesteatoma and to manage ossiculoplasty. Retraction pockets must also lead to endoscopic control and management.

[Preservation of the stapedial muscle in the treatment of otospongiosis, apropos of 48 cases].

The surgical management of otosclerosis, using drilling of the foot plate with a 8 mm diamond burr, 4 mm diameter, teflon prosthesis and vein graft, seems to be in our experience the safest procedure. However, we have tried to keep the function of the stapedial muscle in 48 patients to study the effects on hearing improvement, the stapedial reflex conservation, the protection of inner ear during the six months after surgery. The original technique and results are reported. After surgery, we have not observed any case of painful amplified hearing or of resonance. The audition is reestablished like with the usual techniques.
