Use of autograft and homograft TORP and PORP in the reconstruction of the conductive system in the middle ear.
The restoration of a functional transmission system of the middle ear is extremely difficult after a radical operation which leaves a large surgical cavity or in the absence of the tympanic membrane and ossicles, when the window and the tympanic ostium of the tube are covered with thick granulation and fibrous tissue. This article describes my experience in restoring the transmission system of the middle ear combining autograft and homograft with TORPs and PORPs.
