title: [Reconstruction of the tympanic membrane using Parmatymp bioprosthetic material. Summary of 20 years of experience].
abstract: Autogenous temporal fascia is the material most frequently used for the reconstruction of the tympanic membrane, in spite of certain drawbacks: 1) it is obtained by enlarging the incision or by a supplemental incision; 2) it may be insufficient or absent for reinterventions; 3) it tends to adhere to the middle ear, and 4) it retracts easily when the Eustachian tube is not functioning. This is the synthesis of 20 years of experience with Parmatymp (jugular bovine vein xenograft), a material that is easily available, resistant and suitable for all types of ear surgery.
