MODERN ACHIEVEMENTS IN SURGICAL TREATMENT OF CONGENITAL ATRESIA OF THE EXTERNAL AUDITORY CANAL (LITERATURE REVIEW)

Abstract

Congenital atresia of the external auditory canal has become the subject of serious discussions in the literature, since it is associated with serious aesthetic and functional problems that are difficult to cope with. Obtaining stable results of correction of congenital atresia of the external auditory canal remains a difficult task in otology. Complications such as stenosis, drainage, and hearing impairment can be minimized if well-established concepts and methods are followed.
