Grafting of tympanic membrane is nowadays a relatively
;an easy surgical procedure as long as suitable material is
available for closure, but still every material has advantage
and disadvantage. The most commonly used autograft is the
temporalis fascia but cases need revision tympanoplasty the
grafting material may be not available. There are new alter
native donor in the form of allografts and xenografts to replace
the usual autografts if not available as alloderm and lyophilized
dura respectively. The aim of this study was to assess the
healing and hearing results of these materials in grafting of
tympanic membrane perforation versus commonly used tem
poralis fascia. |
