Abstract
In those ears in which the incus and/or malleus are missing or not suitable, a columella made of high density polyethylene sponge has proven to be very effective. Tissue readily grows into the large pores of this material so that it is well tolerated in the body. During the last six months 54 have been implanted with no rejection so far and a good hearing gain in 43 or 80 percent.Keywords
