    Neuroradiology 52(9):785-807 (2010) PMID 20631999

    This paper summarizes the value of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in the evaluation of temporal bone pathology. It highlights the use of different types of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in the different types of cholesteatoma, prior to first stage surgery and prior to...

    Polycel is an effective material to use in ossiculoplasty. Good prognostic factors for hearing improvement after ossiculoplasty were healthy middle ear mucosa and the presence of stapes superstructure. OBJECTIVE: During the last decade, the surgical use of alloplasts has become increasingly widespre...

    Asian J Surg 30(1):57-9 (2007) PMID 17337373

    Most (94.4%) of the cavities were noted to have epithelial migration laterally. No migration was observed in 5.6%. The start of migration of ink dots was noted in the 2nd week in 53% of the cavities, with a mean of 3.05 weeks. The mean rate of migration was 0.68 mm/week. CONCLUSION: Epithelial migra...
