What is ossiculoplasty?
Ossiculoplasty is a surgical process wherein there is reconstruction of the ossicular chain in the ear. Ossicular chain in a normal person, is formed by three tiny bones called malleus, incus and stapes placed in the middle ear. The malleus is attached to the ear drum on one end and to the incus, at the other end. The incus connects the other two bones. The stapes connects the incus to the oval window of the inner ear. The function of these three ear ossicles is to transmit sound waves from the ear drum to the fluid in the inner ear. When these small bones get damaged, then hearing is drastically affected and leads to conductive hearing loss. Hence their repair or reconstruction is most important for restoring normal hearing.
