[Medial or lateral placement of the graft in myringoplasty comparative studies of both operation techniques using electronic data processing (author's transl)].
After medial placement of the graft in myringoplasty the remaining air-bone gap within the speech range is on an average approximately 10,- dB. This remaining air-bone gap is, according to secured statistics, on an average approximately 10 dB lower than in a lateral placement of the graft. The bone conduction does usually not change in either operation method. The additional support of meatal skin graft on the underlayed fascia does not have any influence on the audiologic finding. The percentage of the reperforations is in type I with a rate of 18% rather high; both operation methods do not significantly differ.
