A SERIES OF CARTILAGE TYMPANOPLASTY BY VARIOUS TECHNIQUES IN 208 PATIENTS

Abstract

Yogendra Kumar Pareek

For repair of the tympanic membrane, temporalis fascia has been regarded as the ideal graft material. Post-operative negative pressure causes failure of the grafting and requires some rigid grafting material. The purpose of this study was to analyse the anatomical and audiologic results of cartilage tympanoplasty for the management of difficult conditions such as cholesteatoma, recurrent perforation, and atelectasis.
