Reconstructive Micro-Surgery of the Eardrum by Means of a Tympanic Membrane Homograft :Preliminary Report

Pages 459-464 | Published online: 08 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

Different materials were recommended for reconstructive operations of the tympanic membrane. The author presents a new myringoplasty technique by using human grafts kept under refrigeration in a preserving solution. These tympanic membranes were taken from corpses. This technique produced not only excellent operative results, but must also be noted for the anatomical and physiological quality of the tympanic membranes reconstituted in this manner. In addition, the constitution of a tympanic membrane bank is also an advantage as it eliminates the taking of the graft during the operation itself.
