Although ossicular reconstruction in children may carry a risk of failure because of recurrent middle ear disease, the procedure offers the potential for restoring binaural hearing during the school years when it is so critical. Of a series of 45 reconstructions with total and partial ossicular replacement prostheses, 6 were extruded for a surgical success rate of 87%. Of the successful cases, 74% had air-bone gaps of 30 dB or better, and 74% had speech reception thresholds of 30 dB or better on initial postoperative audiogram. Outcomes for these children were comparable with those reported for adults, supporting the value of early reconstruction.
