[Application of glass-crystalline granules of biosit-elcor for reducing the size of trepanation cavity in middle ear surgery].

The authors describe experience in application of bioglass preparations (biosit-elcor) for partial obliteration of mastoid cavities in open operations on the middle ear in 17 patients. Long-term results were studied with otomicroscopy and computed tomography of the temporal bones. A good morphological result of the operation (complete epithelization of the wound surface, no discharge from the ear) was achieved in all the patients. Computed tomography showed step-by-step osteointegration of the implant.
