OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety profile and surgical technique for removal of symptomatic exostoses and osteoma of the external auditory canal with a micro-oscillating piezoelectric device.
METHOD: A chart review was conducted on patients undergoing piezoelectric canalplasty between 2019 and 2021 at tertiary referral hospital. Surgery was performed by two surgeons with varying experience. Bone removal was achieved using both osteotomy and osteoplasty. Postoperative complications, operative time and hearing outcome were evaluated.
RESULTS: The study comprised 16 patients (16 ears). No major complications occurred. The skin of the auditory canal was completely preserved in all patients without injury to the tympanic membrane. Except for one patient with known noise-induced hearing loss, there was no postoperative deterioration of the bone-conduction threshold more than 10 dB HL at any frequency. The difference of the bone-conduction threshold in pure-tone audiometry (average for 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 kHz) three weeks postoperatively had a median of 0.6 dB ± 5.7. One patient complained of temporary new tinnitus. One patient had prolonged wound healing. Mean operative time was comparable with literature data.
CONCLUSION: The atraumatic characteristics of the piezoelectric instrument enable low-risk removal of external auditory canal exostoses and osteoma. Through the combination of precise osteotomy and osteoplasty, this novel instrument has the potential to become established in routine canalplasty.
