title: [Cartilage vs. temporal fascia as graft material].
abstract: So far, comparative studies have shown no significant audiological difference between cartilage and fascia grafts. In this retrospective study, the Turkish scientists E E Callioglu et al. examined next audiological results and morphological results after surgical cartilage and fascial tympanoplasty in patients with comparable preoperative hearing and middle ear pathology.
