Use of Biodesign® Otologic Graft in Canal Wall Down Mastoidectomy: A Prospective, Randomized Trial

August 10, 2022 updated by: Ascension South East Michigan
This is a prospective, randomized trial to evaluate canal wall down mastoidectomy (CWDM) healing outcomes using Biodesign® small intestine submucosa graft compared to autologous temporalis fascia graft.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Patients 18 or older will undergo primary canal wall down mastoidectomy. Patients with known biologic sensitivity or cultural objection to use of porcine materials will be excluded.

Data will be derived from the medical record and surgeon reports as detailed on pre-op and follow-up forms. Variables collected include age, gender, medical co-morbidities, body mass index, pre-operative audiometric values (including word recognition score, pure tone average, and air bone gap), side of surgery, size of operative cavity, infectious state (draining versus dry), exact surgical procedure, presence of cholesteatoma, time to dry cavity, time to complete epithelialization (as observed directly by the surgeon), and post-operative complications (such as persistent perforation, drainage, granulation tissue formation, and facial nerve outcomes). Dates and patient number will be recorded. Patients will be randomly assigned using randomization software, whereby patients will be assigned a sequential research number that is pre-randomized to one research arm. The study cannot be blinded, as the surgeon will be able to identify which graft will be used. De-identified photographs of the post-operative outcomes at each time point will be recorded photographically. Three physicians will review these photographs without prior knowledge of the treatment arm.

Determine the Air Bone Gap by measuring the difference between the air conduction and bone conduction testing. The air bone gap is the difference between the 2 readings and must be present at 3 consecutive frequencies.
Evaluation at 3 months post-operatively
Audio-metric outcome
Time Frame: Evaluation at 3 months post-operatively
The word recognition testing evaluates the patient's ability to repeat phonetically balanced words appropriate for their hearing level.
