Porous polyethylene is a thermoplastic synthetic with a pore size ranging from about 100 micron to 200 micron. In addition to other materials, it is used for alloplastic replacement of auditory ossicles. Experimental and clinical experience in our department in recent years has shown that porous polyethylene, due to its good formability, tissue tolerance, and stability is suitable for use in reconstruction of other cartilaginous and bony structures. Therefore, it has been used successfully in reconstruction of the outer ear, in repairing defects of the facial skull, and in rebasing paralyzed vocal folds. Its use in the inner nose to replace the cartilaginous septum or rebase the mucosa in ozena, however, cannot be recommended. The suitability of the material for alloplastic tracheal replacement is investigated experimentally.
多孔聚乙烯是一种热塑性合成材料，其孔径范围约为100微米至200微米。除其他材料外，它还用于听小骨的异体替代。近年来我们科室的实验和临床经验表明，多孔聚乙烯由于其良好的成型性、组织耐受性和稳定性，适用于其他软骨和骨结构的重建。因此，它已成功用于外耳重建、面部颅骨缺损修复以及麻痹声带的复位。然而，不建议将其用于鼻内替代软骨鼻中隔或治疗臭鼻症时的黏膜复位。目前正在对该材料用于异体气管替代的适用性进行实验研究。
