title: [Myringoplasties for anterior tympanic perforations: Our surgical technique].
abstract: Anterior tympanic perforations are actually the most difficult to close and a number of different techniques exist. This article represents the author's surgical procedure for type I tympanoplasties (myringoplasties) for this kind of perforation using the tragal cartilage and the perichondrium after preparation (revival, cleaning) of the perforation edge with a laser. This technique does not use a skin incision of external auditory meatus, when this one is large.
