  • Description: Investigating the outcomes of a surgical approach to treat isolated defects of the stapes suprastructure, using a modified total ossicular replacement prosthesis (TORP) prosthesis as a PORP between the footplate and the incus, effectively creating a TORP-PORP configuration. Eleven patients (mean age, 37.2 years; 36% male and 64% female) between the years 2007 and 2022. Therapeutic (ossiculoplasty). Hearing gain (in dB) in air conduction thresholds at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 4 kHz, stability of bone conduction, revision rate. Significant improvement in air conduction between the preoperative and the postoperative cohorts (p = 0.002) with a mean postoperative hearing level of 30.00 ± 5.25 dB. The bone conduction remained stable. We encountered no perioperative complications, and there were no revisions surgery. The described ossiculoplasty procedure is a safe and effective approach to treat isolated defects of the stapes suprastructure.
