Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol. 2021 Feb 15;: Authors: Skoloudik L, Krtickova J, Haviger J, Mejzlik J, Chrobok V Abstract PURPOSE: Taste perception is often affected after stapes surgery despite effort to preserve chorda tympani nerve. The aim was to examine changes of particular taste qualities and their recovery after operation of otosclerosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Taste function was prospectively investigated with a questionnaire and a taste strip test (TST) preoperatively, 3-5 days and 1 year after stapes surgery with the preservation of CTN. RESULTS: In the early postoperative examination, 34/42 patients had a lower TST score, 7/42 decrease of taste in the questionnaire. One year after surgery, 11/42 patients had a lower TST score, 1/42 patients decrease of taste in the questionnaire. The most pronounced decrease in the TST score was in sweet (- 1.76 points, p < 0.001), followed by bitter (- 1.71 points, p < 0.001), salty (- 1.64 points, p < 0.001) and sour taste (- 1.33 points, p < 0.001). The sour taste had a significant lower alteration compared to others. Men had significantly pronounced alteration in salty taste compared to women. The complete recovery was proved in bitter taste. Better recovery in bitter taste was observed in patients younger than 45 years of age. CONCLUSIONS: Gustatory changes after stapes surgery are mostly transient with different impairment and recovery rate for particular taste qualities. A sour taste seems to be relatively resistant to damage. The best recovery rate is in a bitter taste, especially in younger patients.

Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol. 2021 Feb 15;: Authors: Tan AD, Ng JH, Low DY, Yuen HW Abstract PURPOSE: This study aims to evaluate the surgical outcomes with the use of a combination of the middle temporal artery (MTA) flap and the inferior musculoperiosteal (IMP) flap for mastoid obliteration after canal wall down mastoidectomy. METHODS: Seventy-five patients who have undergone canal wall down mastoidectomy and mastoid obliteration with the MTA and the IMP flaps at a single tertiary hospital were included. Surgical outcomes measured included the creation of a dry mastoid cavity as measured by a previously developed semi-quantitative scale, mastoid cavity epithelization time, rate of revision surgery needed, and rate of recurrent cholesteatoma. RESULTS: Patients were followed up for a median of 29 months. The median time to epithelization of the mastoid cavity was 2 months. At 1 and 3 months, 36.0% and 76.0% of patients had grade 0 and grade 1 cavities, respectively, with either a dry cavity or one or less episodes of mild otorrhea or sensation of wetness. Hundred percent of the patients achieved a grade 2 (more than one episode of otorrhea or the presence of granulation tissue that promptly resolved with simple treatment) or better cavity at 3 months. One patient re-presented with a grade 3 cavity with uncontrolled infection and daily otorrhea secondary to an attic perforation that manifested at 6 months, requiring revision surgery. There were no recurrent cholesteatomas during the follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS: The use of the MTA and the IMP flaps for mastoid obliteration may be considered as an adjunct to achieving a safe, dry ear after canal wall down mastoidectomy.
