ABSTRACT
The successful outcome of homograft myringoplasty in small and medium perforation of the tympanic membrane was only 44.12 per cent. A better result was obtained in the small perforations (59.10%) compared with the medium ones (16.77%). We conclude that the procedure should be appropriate for repairing the incomplete healing of the tympanic membrane following standard tympanoplasty and removal of the tympanostomy tube. Furthermore this procedure is simple, safe, cost-effective and can be done in the out-patient department.
