title: Homograft tympanoplasty: a long-term review of 477 ears.
abstract: Homograft materials have been employed to reconstruct the tympanic membrane and ossicular chain since the mid-1960s. Although the use of homograft materials remains somewhat controversial, this technique has been shown to provide excellent long-term results, both anatomically and functionally. This study reports on the long-term results of 477 ears undergoing homograft tympanoplasty and the modification of previously reported surgical techniques.
