title: [The use of autologous keratinocytes in ear surgery].
abstract: To date autologous keratinocyte grafts have been used successfully to treat second- or third-degree burn wounds. This method allows a thin epithelialization of surfaces to take place but has been rarely used in otologic surgery until now. This technique has two possible indications in surgery of the external ear canal and the middle ear. We have currently used this method to cover a wound bed after resection of external ear canal stenosis and to treat large mastoid cavities with chronic secretion. Various aspects of the method as well as initial results of clinical use are shown.
