A brief summary of methods for reconstruction of the external auditory meatus for whatever reason, which have been recommended and used by a number of authors, is presented. Recurrence of the atretic problem occurs in a great percentage of individuals necessitating further attempts with an even greater failure rate. In 13 ases with this problem, including congenital agenesis and/or atresia of the external auditory canal, exostectomies, and postsurgical stenosis, I have fund that surgery with concomitant use of Merocel wicks has given a "cure rate" of better than 90%. The first patient in this group has been followed for approximately two years.
本文简要总结了一些作者推荐并使用的各种原因导致的外耳道重建方法。闭锁问题在很大比例的个体中会复发，需要进一步尝试，但失败率更高。在13例有此问题的病例中，包括先天性外耳道发育不全和/或闭锁、外耳道骨瘤切除术以及术后狭窄，我发现同时使用美洛赛（Merocel）棉条进行手术的“治愈率”超过90%。该组的首例患者已随访约两年。
