Although most canal exostoses are asymptomatic, patients with canal obstruction greater than 80% can have recurrent episodes of external otitis and a related conductive hearing loss. In most cases, medical treatment resolves the symptomatic external otitis and related hearing loss. Patients recalcitrant to medical treatment are candidates for surgical removal of the exostoses. This report reviews the authors' surgical experience with 18 patients (27 ears) who have undergone surgical removal of exostoses. Their preferred surgical technique of transmeatal removal of exostoses with a specialized mallet and thin chisel under local anesthesia is described.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-199802000-00007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,11,19]],"date-time":"2003-11-19T10:38:48Z","timestamp":1069238328000},"page":"195-199","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":45,"title":["Treatment of External Auditory Canal Exostoses"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"108","author":[{"given":"Samuel R.","family":"Whitaker","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aldo","family":"Cordier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Serge","family":"Kosjakov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ronald","family":"Charbonneau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,1,4]]},"reference":[{"issue":"61","key":"e_1_2_8_2_2","first-page":"1","article-title":"Exostoses of the external auditory canal","volume":"88","author":"DiBartolomeo JR","year":"1979","journal-title":"Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.1.892.152-a"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_2","first-page":"666","article-title":"Case of aural exostoses","volume":"15","author":"Kelson WH","year":"1900","journal-title":"J Laryngol"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_2","first-page":"1137","article-title":"Etiology of exostoses of the external auditory meatus","volume":"2","author":"Jackson G","year":"1909","journal-title":"BMJ (sect Laryngol Otol Rhinol)"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00016483809118459"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_2","first-page":"187","article-title":"The relationship of osteomata of the external auditory canal meatus to swimming","volume":"31","author":"Harrison DF","year":"1962","journal-title":"Ann R Coll Surg"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0196-0709(96)90015-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1942.03760040009001"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_2","volume-title":"Diseases of the Ear, Nose and Throat","author":"Morrison WW","year":"1958"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-195809000-00008"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348947908800422"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_13_2","first-page":"101","article-title":"Osteomas and exostoses of the external auditory canal: medical and surgical management","volume":"11","author":"Kemink JL","year":"1982","journal-title":"J Otolaryngol"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_14_2","first-page":"183","article-title":"The management of chronic external otitis","volume":"13","author":"Goodman WS","year":"1984","journal-title":"J Otolaryngol"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215100126027"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_16_2","first-page":"203","volume-title":"Surgery of the Ear","author":"Glasscock ME","year":"1990"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_17_2","first-page":"337","article-title":"Diffuse exostoses and osteomata of the external auditory canal: a report of 100 operations","volume":"90","author":"Sheehy JL","year":"1982","journal-title":"Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg"}],"container-title":["The Laryngoscope"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1097%2F00005537-199802000-00007","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1097\/00005537-199802000-00007","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,9]],"date-time":"2023-10-09T17:13:08Z","timestamp":1696871588000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1097\/00005537-199802000-00007"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1998,2]]},"references-count":16,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[1998,2]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1097\/00005537-199802000-00007"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/00005537-199802000-00007","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0023-852X","1531-4995"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0023-852X","type":"print"},{"value":"1531-4995","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1998,2]]}}}
