title: [Prefabricated tympanic prosthesis].
abstract: Total and subtotal perforations of the tympanic membrane cause problems. Adhesions and poor hearing results are the outcome when just the stapes or the footplate remain intact. Reinforcement of the transplant using cartilage and plastic sheeting were not successful in the long run. The tympano-wire prosthesis with its concave form prevents the above mentioned disadvantages. Short interpositioning is to prefer in order to prevent impedance.
