Purpose: To evaluate the complication rate in adult subjects with open cavities, implanted with the Vibrant Soundbridge (VSB) implant, using the round window (RW) vibroplasty procedure.
Methods: From 2010 to 2018, 21 adult subjects with mixed hearing loss, all with sequel from open tympanoplasty surgery, underwent RW vibroplasty. Surgical complications were recorded and a standard minimal approach was used as basis for all the cases that needed revision.

Objectives/Hypothesis: The purpose of the present study was to show our preliminary results regarding the endoscopic ear surgery application in malleostapedotomy surgery. Study Design: Case series. Methods: Six patients (four females and two males) who underwent endoscopic ear surgery as revision surgery for otosclerosis were enrolled in this study. For endoscopic malleostapedotomy surgery, rigid angled endoscopes at 0 ° and 30 ° with a length of 14 cm and an outer diameter of 3 and 4 mm were used.

Purpose: To get evidence of failures of active middle ear implants (AMEI) within a consistent series of subjects treated at a single Implanting Center.
