Abstract

Homologous dura is an excellent graft material for repairing tympanic membrane perforations. The graft preservation technique is simple and the graft take rate is comparable to grafting with temporalis facia and tragal perichondrium. We had done myringoplasty with homologous dura in 120 patients in the last 8 months. We had a graft take rate 85.8% with improvement of hearing in 84%.

The preservation technique and surgical procedures are discussed and the relevant literatures are reviewed.
