Abstract
• Preoperative assessment of the patient as well as the hearing loss is important to determine the need for surgery.
• Control of the disease process is necessary before reconstruction of the sound transmission system.
• Medial onlay grafting of the tympanic membrane is preferable to lateral onlay techniques.
• Reconstruction of the middle ear is based on ossicular or acoustic coupling.
• Bone is preferred as a graft in ossicular coupling.
