Animation of Otosclerosis Disease (Growth of Spongy Bone in The Middle Ear)



In otosclerosis (or otospongiosis), a decrease in the sound transmission and hearing loss occurs due to the hardening (ossification) of the base of the stapes bone, which is innermost from the 3 ossicles in the middle ear, which is ideal for stapesectomy operations after the stiffening base has been removed are equipped with Teflon piston or intelligent metal technology (Titanium prosthesisis such as Nitibond®). Teflon piston is the most commonly used prosthesis in otosclerosis surgery. This disase is causing progressive conductive hearing loss due to over growth of spongy bone in the middle ear (abnormal formation of new bone in the middle).

Stapedectomy surgery is the most effective treatment for patients with a certain level of conductive - type hearing loss due to middle ear calcification.

Nitibond® Stapes Prosthesis

"Nitibond Stapes Prosthesis" was produced by Kurz Medikal, a German medical company, to be used for stapedectomy in patients with otosclerosis in the middle ear.

As shown in the figure above, it closes automatically and permanently with heat. During the procedure, instead of squeezing using a metal tool, the laser is used and the prosthesis heated by the laser beam is tightly wrapped around the incus ossicle and closed.

The only difference is that the prosthesis produced with this intelligent metase technology is not laser-tightened; The risk of necrosis in the ossicle decreases because it squeezes the bone from 3 different points, because this prosthesis is obtained from pure titanium, the patient can enter a 7-tes MRI, the product has a 20-year warranty, and it is argued that transmission of sound waves is more than other prostheses.

Indeed, ease of application and shortening of the operation time can be achieved.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) and general characteristics Human papillomavirus (HPV - human papillomavirus) is the virus most commonly known to cause cervical cancer. In recent years, it has been shown that the new species of this virus is associated with intrauterine cancer. Most HPV-associated lesions in the mouth are benign and tend to recur from time to time. Papilloma viruses are commonly found in mammals and are rarely seen in birds. Papilloma viruses that are isolated in more than 300 species and cause infection in humans are collectively referred to as human papilloma virus or HPV (human papillomavirus). HPV viruses are divided into high risk (HR) and low risk (L

Elongation of Uvula Elongated (Long) Uvula Causes, Symptoms and Treatment Photo descriptions: A photo showing the inside of a patient's mouth with snoring complaints. It appears that the patient's uvula is quite long and in contact with the tongue root. Uvula may prolong and sag due to many reasons such as snore-induced vibratory trauma, smoking, alcohol use. Uvulopalatal Flap (UPF) was planned for this patient. Uvula's tasks (functions of uvula) Uvula is a structure under the soft palate, lying between the tonsils in the midline, with muscle, connective tissue and mucous membranes. There are duties such as preventing the mouth from escaping from the nasal passage and directing the discharge from the nasal passage to the esophagus instead of the trachea. It does not play much role in creating speech and sound as much as our language. Symptoms of uvula elongation Some patients may experience uvula lengthening over time. If the uvula is longer than normal and co
