Picture of TORP
(Total Ossicular Replacement Prosthesis)
This patient had a modified radical mastoidectomy for cholesteatoma. The ossicular chain was completely destroyed, except for the footplate of the stapes. A titanium total ossicular replacement prosthesis (TORP) was placed over the footplate.
Right tympanomastoidectomy and ossicular reconstruction, surgeon's view.
The "platform" of the TORP was covered with a piece of tragal cartilage and a temporalis fascia graft. The patient's hearing improved by 40 dB.
