The resulting air\u2010filled mastoid cavity is an anatomic extension of the middle ear cleft and is separated from the ear canal by a functional barrier that is continuous with the tympanic membrane. The acoustic characteristics of an associated tympanoplasty are not significantly altered, and many of the problems that are associated with an exteriorized cavity are avoided. In contradistinction to other methods of mastoid obliteration or reconstruction, the semitransparent nature of the soft canal wall allows inspection of the underlying cavity for residual or recurrent disease. The technique can be used to repair either a newly created cavity or a previous radical (or modified radical) mastoidectomy defect. The functional results of thirty ears reconstructed in this fashion are detailed. A variable amount of soft\u2010wall retraction was noted postoperatively in 47% of the ears; however, the long\u2010term functional results in these cases remain satisfactory.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/019459988609400317","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,25]],"date-time":"2015-11-25T07:02:20Z","timestamp":1448434940000},"page":"355-359","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Soft\u2010Wall Reconstruction of the Posterior External Ear Canal Wall"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"94","author":[{"given":"Peter G.","family":"Smith","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology Division of Otology, Neurotology, and Surgery of the Skull Base Washington University School of Medicine St. Louis Missouri"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Malcolm H.","family":"Stroud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology Division of Otology, Neurotology, and Surgery of the Skull Base Washington University School of Medicine St. Louis Missouri"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joel A","family":"Goebel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology Division of Otology, Neurotology, and Surgery of the Skull Base Washington University School of Medicine St. Louis Missouri"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1986,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","first-page":"2","article-title":"\u00dcber radikaloperation und tympanoplastik","volume":"18","author":"Jansen C","year":"1958","journal-title":"Sitz Ber Fortbild Arztekamm Ob"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1978.00790030013003"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","first-page":"152","article-title":"Mastoid obliteration","volume":"360","author":"Palva T","year":"1979","journal-title":"Acta Otolaryngol [Suppl] (Stockh)"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1979.00790190003001"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-197105000-00020"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1967.00760050389007"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/019459988409200316"}],"container-title":["Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/019459988609400317","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/aao-hnsfjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/019459988609400317","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,20]],"date-time":"2025-10-20T12:52:55Z","timestamp":1760964775000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/aao-hnsfjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1177\/019459988609400317"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1986,3]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[1986,3]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/019459988609400317"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/019459988609400317","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0194-5998","1097-6817"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0194-5998","type":"print"},{"value":"1097-6817","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1986,3]]}}}
