Abstract :
Background: Ossicular reconstructive surgery is nowadays growing with increased popularity with the advent of newer prosthesis. Anticipating morphometric variations of malleus, a precise understanding is pertinent in pre-operative prosthetic selection procedure and post-operative outcome to alleviate hearing disability as well as psychological trauma. Accordingly, a cadaveric study was attempted to revisit morphometric details of malleus along with clinical correlations.Materials and Methods: 52 sets of adult mallei (Male: 32; Female: 20) were dissected from freshly donated cadavers to explore detailed morphometric parameters as follows: i). Total length of malleus, ii). Length of manubrium, iii). Length of head and neck and iv). Angle between the long axis of neck and that of manubrium.Results: Mean total length, length of manubrium and length of head and neck of malleus were 7.8±0.37 mm., 4.39mm ± 0.29mm. and 4.92mm ± 0.12 mm. respectively. Angle between long axis of neck and manubrium was 143 ± 5.4º. There was no significant difference in the parameters according to laterality. However, total length and angle was significantly higher in males than females (p0.05).The majority of subjects who has dyslipidemia were in age group of 26 to 45 years in both groups. The values of Total Cholesterol, Triglyceride and LDL-C are significantly higher but the values of HDL-C are significantly low in obese as (p0.05).The majority of subjects who has dyslipidemia were in age group of 26 to 45 years in both groups. The values of Total Cholesterol, Triglyceride and LDL-C are significantly higher but the values of HDL-C are significantly low in obese as (p10 cm) due to sampling constraints.Conclusion: FS is a very sensitive and accurate intraoperative diagnostic tool for ovarian tumors, especially benign and malignant lesions. Nevertheless, caution is exercised in borderline tumors because of decreased sensitivity, requiring careful sampling and interpretation.
