Particular attention is drawn to postoperative audiological evaluations which were performed at regular interval following ossicular reconstructions with the following results : 1) The incidence of 263 cases of Intact Canal Wall Tympanoplasty with mastoidectomies was highest in the young age groups, from 10 to 29 years old. 2) 210(80%) of the operations were performed as a one-stage procedure, 60% of which also received ossicular reconstruction, mainly incus repositioning and the use of incus homografts. 3) Hearing for all operative groups except revisions was restored to adequacy socially and two-third of the cases came within 20 dB of the preoperative bone conduction level. A total of 72% obtained with would be considered ""good results"" for hearing. 4) The most common complications were postoperatively infections with recurrent and/or residual cholesteatoma.
