[Validation of application of elastic tamponade of the middle ear postoperative cavities].
It is shown that gauze turunda tamponade of the middle ear postoperative cavities provokes bacterial contamination and formation of the infection focus. Inflatable latex tampon and technique of tamponade of the postoperative middle ear cavities after hearing-preserving sanation operations on the temporal bone were designed and tested. They proved superior to the gauze turundas and allow to avoid bacterial contamination. Microscopic and histological studies confirmed that removal of the latex tampon is safe for the postoperative wound surface making postoperative relapse less probable.
