Out-patient myringoplasty.
A simple technique for closing small-to-medium sized perforations of the tympanic membrane in the Out-Patient Department has been described. Homograft temporalis fascia was used as a graft material. In a series of eighteen patients a closure rate of 78.2 per cent was obtained. The advantages of the method have been discussed.
