: Cholesteatoma is a destructive middle ear pathology requiring precise surgical removal to prevent recurrence and preserve auditory function. The chemically assisted dissection (CADISS) system (AuXin Surgery, Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium), based on Mesna (5%), was introduced to enhance tissue separation and minimize residual disease. : This study aimed to compare the cleaning efficiency of CADISS-assisted dissection versus the conventional manual dissection of cholesteatoma from incus bone surfaces using quantitative ultrastructural analysis. : This retrospective study evaluated 67 human incus samples collected during cholesteatoma surgery-35 treated with manual dissection and 32 with CADISS. Samples were imaged using variable pressure scanning electron microscopy (VP-SEM) in hydrated conditions. Clean area/total area ratios were calculated and analyzed statistically using non-parametric tests. Postoperative MRI follow-up at 1 month was conducted to assess residual disease. : CADISS-assisted samples demonstrated significantly higher clean area/total area ratios (mean: 0.2095 vs. 0.0478, < 0.0001). Qualitative imaging showed fewer residuals > 1 mm in the CADISS group (9% vs. 77%). MRI follow-up revealed a lower recurrence rate in the CADISS group (3.1%) compared to manual dissection (11.4%). : CADISS-assisted dissection provides superior cholesteatoma debris removal compared to manual methods, as evidenced by VP-SEM imaging and clinical follow-up. This technique may improve surgical outcomes and reduce recurrence risk in middle ear surgery.
胆脂瘤是一种具有破坏性的中耳病变,需要精确的手术切除以防止复发并保留听觉功能。基于美司钠(5%)的化学辅助剥离(CADISS)系统(比利时奥蒂尼-卢万拉讷沃的奥新外科公司)被引入以增强组织分离并将残留病变降至最低。
本研究旨在使用定量超微结构分析比较CADISS辅助剥离与传统手动剥离从砧骨骨表面清除胆脂瘤的效率。
这项回顾性研究评估了在胆脂瘤手术期间收集的67个人类砧骨样本——35例采用手动剥离治疗,32例采用CADISS治疗。在水合条件下使用可变压力扫描电子显微镜(VP-SEM)对样本进行成像。计算清洁面积/总面积比,并使用非参数检验进行统计分析。术后1个月进行MRI随访以评估残留病变。
CADISS辅助的样本显示出显著更高的清洁面积/总面积比(平均值:0.2095对0.0478,<0.0001)。定性成像显示CADISS组中残留大于1mm的情况较少(9%对77%)。MRI随访显示CADISS组的复发率(3.1%)低于手动剥离组(11.4%)。
与手动方法相比,CADISS辅助剥离在清除胆脂瘤碎片方面具有优势,VP-SEM成像和临床随访证明了这一点。该技术可能会改善中耳手术的效果并降低复发风险。
