PG - 2-7 LID - 10.5152/iao.2019.5983 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to investigate the prognostic factors for short-term hearing outcomes of ossiculoplasty for primary pars flaccida cholesteatoma according to the European Academy of Otology and Neurotology/Japanese Otological Society (EAONO/JOS) and 2015 JOS staging systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 34 patients with primary pars flaccida cholesteatoma who underwent one-stage tympanomastoidectomy with partial ossicular reconstruction using double cartilage block were included in the study. The postoperative pure-tone average air-bone gap (PTA-ABG) was calculated, and two criteria of successful hearing outcomes were defined as
