Abstract
To shorten the hospital stay, a secondary skin graft was applied to the operated mastoid cavities made by the open method of tympanoplasty or by radical mastoidectomy.Pinch grafts (small islands of the epidermal layer) were transplanted on an average of 28 days after the operations, soon after the mastoid cavities were covered with healthy granulation tissue. In 8 of the 10 patients treated, the grafts took well, and complete healing was established on an average of 11.1 days after the grafting operation. The procedure reduced the length of hospitalization more than 2 weeks. We are convinced that the pinch graft was beneficial for mastoid cavities made by the open method of tympanoplasty or by radical mastoidectomy.
