Abstract
This is a reply letter to the manuscript “The size and diameter of pieces of cartilage are not fixed for the palisade technique and one-piece technique”, regarding the elevation of a tympanomeatal flap and keratin pearl formation in “Palisade cartilage tympanoplasty compared to one-piece composite cartilage-perichondrium grafts for transcanal endoscopic treatment of subtotal tympanic membrane perforations: a retrospective study” (https://doi.org/10.1007/s00405-020-05947-3).
