Summary

A study on the use of tragal perichondrium as a graft in tympanoplasty was made. Autogenous tragal perichondrium was used in 50 cases of C.S.O.M., undergoing tympanoplasty. Type I was performed in 38 cases, Type II in 5 cases and in 7 cases Type III tympanoplasty was done. The important advantages noticed during the surgery were the ease with which the fairly big sized graft was made available from the field of operation and the comfort with which the perichondrium could be handled without getting curled up. Post-operatively, the graft rejection was seen in only 4 cases (8.5%) while in rest 46 cases (91.5%) the graft take up was excellent. Sufficient gain in hearing was also obtained in 39 (8.3%) cases. It is expected that this graft (perichondriuum from tragus) will go a long way in solving the main problem of graft rraterial in tympanoplasty.
