Abstract

Results of 1065 operations (604 myringoplasties‡ and 461 tympanoplasties §) performed by a single surgeon using either underlay homograft dura, underlay autograft temporalis fascia or overlay autograft temporalis fascia are compared.

Pre-operative and operative conditions are analysed to determine which of these influence results.
