Abstract
A comparative study of ossicular reconstrution using four different graft material was carried out on 40 patients as a second stage procedure from July 1989 to June 1991. The graft materials used were : aulologus ossicular bone graft, allogeneic ossicular bone graft, autologus cartilage and bio-compatible materials. All patients were observed for a period ranging from one to two years. Extrusion of ossicular graft was prevented by use of a lace of cartilage between the ossicular graft and neotympanic membrance. Satisfactory results were obtained with cartilage graft in 6%, allogeneic ossicles 70%, autologus ossicular graft 80% and bio-compatible materials 33.3%.
