OBJECTIVES To compare the results obtained with canal wall up (CWU) tympanoplasty for cholesteatoma using cartilage or an hydroxyapatite (HA) PORP positioned on the head of the stapes and to analyse the impact of malleus removal and total reinforcement of the tympanic membrane with cartilage. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective study of 128 cases (99 adults, 29 children) operated between 2003...

Background: Tympanoplasty is a widely performed surgery for the repair of tympanic membrane perforation. Aim study: to compare auditory and anatomical outcomes between two different techniques in tympanoplasty: first with temporalis facia graft + new “cubism” other alone. Patients methods: A prospective, randomized study was conducted Otorhinolaryngology Head Neck Surgery Department, Al-Azhar U...

INTRODUCTION Various graft materials have been used to close tympanic membrane perforations. In the literature, there are few studies in pediatric populations comparing different graft materials. To our knowledge, there is no reported study that measured the thickness of the tragal cartilage in pediatric tympanoplasties. The tragal cartilage is not of uniform thickness in every patient. OBJEC...

A combined tympanoplasty method, the mobile-bridge tympanoplasty, has been applied at the Clinic for Ear, Nose and Throat Diseases in Novi Sad since 1998. Mobile-bridge tympanoplasty is performed at our Clinic by applying Feldmann's procedure utilizing a microsurgical oscillating saw. It is a combination of closed and open techniques for surgical treatment of middle ear diseases. In addition to...

Abstract Background Various grafting materials and different techniques have been used for myringoplasty. The aim of the study was to compare result tympanoplasty in patients with safe-type chronic suppurative otitis media using periosteum versus tragal cartilage perichondrium grafts through pre- postoperative clinical audiological evaluation. Results There statistically significant difference ...
