Canal wall and ossicle chain reconstruction with tragal cartilage/perichondrium composite grafts in endoscopic resection of middle ear and antrum cholesteatomas
Our endoscopic method had a comparable result to MA in the treatment of cholesteatomas involving the ossicle. The technique has the advantage of leaving both a smaller surgical wound and an invisible scar. The composite graft can be easily modified for reconstruction of canal wall defects and ossiculoplasty. Patients with an intact stapes superstructure had better hearing outcomes.
