Preliminary results with an eustachian tube prosthesis have been reported. This paper updates our experience with the prosthesis. Our series is now 95 patients with follow-up of 2 to 32 months (average of 14 months). The success rate in obtaining a healed aerated middle ear is 75% (71). The eustachian tube prosthesis continues to give encouraging results in problem tympanoplasty cases.
