Abstract
Our experience with the fasciaform graft, designed specifically for the repair of subtotal or total perforations of the tympanic membrane, is presented. The technique which utilizes a total tympanic graft of formalized autologous temporalis fascia is described in detail. We have employed this method in 29 patients with total closure of the defect being achieved in 93% of cases. The fasciaform graft is therefore recommended as a successful method of repair for subtotal and total perforations of the tympanic membrane for which the conventional grafting techniques currently available are much less effective.
