title: External auditory canal stenosis.
abstract: Stenosis of the external auditory canal may occur from a variety of causes. The numerous surgical techniques illustrate that repair may be difficult. The problems were resolved in two cases with the use of a silicone-rubber insert that is made at the time of the surgical procedure and is used throughout the postoperative period.
