?:definition
  • Middle-ear hooks designed to temporarily secure tissues in the middle-ear region by catching and/or pulling them during dissection, excision, and/or to perform other otological microsurgical procedures with minimal trauma. These middle-ear surgical hooks typically consist of small and fine handheld stainless steel manual instruments with a shank bent near the distal end (usually at angles of 45 degrees) and finished in a blunt tip. Microsurgery middle-ear hooks typically include a handle at the proximal end. They are used in otological microsurgical procedures (e.g., tympanoplasty, to remove scar tissue if present, for the dissection and release of fibrous adhesions).
