Two Cases of Fat Graft Myringoplasty / 대한이비인후과학회지

Tympanic membrane perforations are frequently encountered diseases and can be treated with several different methods, induding tympanoplasty with tympanic membrane grafting which requires more profound techniques and clinical care. A fat graft myringoplasty is a cost-effective techniquc managing small tympanic membrane perforations and is used when challenged by a myringoplasty failure, or following tympanostomy tube extrusion. It involves wedging a piece of fat from the ear lobule into the perforation with local anesthesia in a one-day-stay procedure. This study demonstrates the efficacy of this method in a persistent small tympanic membrane perforation.
