Abstract
Introduction The purpose of this exhibit has been to demonstrate the magnitude of otological surgery from the superficial surgery of the stapes to the intracranial complications of otitis media. The exhibit demonstrated the current techniques in stapedectomy and in tympanoplasty with a series of 276 new stereoscopic surgical photographs and 18 unpublished drawings. These illustrations demonstrate both the surgical pathology and the surgical technique. In this publication the more important clinical aspects will be summarized. In the stapes surgery, the exhibit presents the physiological stapedectomy with the preservation of the stapedius tendon; the physiological partial stapedectomy with the use of the fat graft over centrally mobilized normal footplate; the lasting results of stapes reconstruction; the varied surgical techniques for transecting and removing the thick otosclerotic footplate; and the diagnosis of abstruse complications of stapes surgery. In the field of tympanoplasty, the exhibit presents the sliding canal graft; the combined internal
