Myringoplasty with fascial stakes.
Myringoplasty reinforced by fascial stakes was performed in 87 ears. Small tongue-like fascial projections or "stakes" were used to keep the fascial graft in position. No foreign material was introduced into the middle ear cavity to support the graft and the drum. The technical details of this procedure are described and analysis of the results is presented.
