During the past 30 years, the surgical techniques and types of ossicular replacements have added important variations. We have progressed from natural materials to partial and total ossicular replacement prostheses (PORPs and TORPs) made of biocompatible materials. We review 104 surgical cases from 1980 to 1992, consisting mainly of Schuring (fluoroplastic, Bogota, Columbia) TORPs initially and Wehrs (hydroxylapatite) prostheses more recently. With a 52% success rate, we are continuing our research to achieve the best and most durable results.
