09-10, 09:00–09:15 (Europe/Istanbul), Otology 6

This session’s header image

Many classifications of chorda tympani nerve morphology were published but without carification of its impact of post operative the nerve function. The proposed classification of different morphological types of the nerve morphology is applied to the assessment of the nerve function affection post operatively to make it clinically and practically application. The comparative study of the assessment of the nerve function pre and post operatively was performed by both subjective and objective methods.

The aim of the presentation is to clarify the importance of identification of the morphological type of chorda tympani nerve during stapedectomy and the best way to handle the nerve to preserve its function pos operatively.
