Abstract

A preliminary report on a technique of myringoplasty is presented with the idea of minimizing graft rejection, and to combat anterior blunting and lateralization of the graft. The grafts were generally stable and mobile. Out of 200 cases there was only a 2 per cent rate of graft rejection, with no evidence of anterior blunting or lateralization. The hearing improved considerably. The technique is simple and relatively quick.
