Abstract
Seventy six ears with chronic suppurative otitis media and fit for tympanoplasty were subjected to grafting with combination of perichondrium and cartilage (composite graft) for restoration of sound conducting apparatus and reconstruction of canal wall. A comparison with temporal fascia grafting has been done. Composite graft procedure gave better functional improvement, helped in reconstruction of canal wall and was also useful in elimination of retraction pockets.
