Formaldehyde-formed autogenous fascia graft tympanoplasty
Abstract:
The formaldehyde-formed autogenous fascia graft represents another step toward more reliable functional restoration of the diseased tympanic membrane. It combines the advantages of the availability and high nonperforation rate of autogenous fascia with the more normal anatomic restoration experienced with homograft tympanic membrane grafts. Its primary indication is in total membrane perforations with intact malleus although the concept can be employed in conjunction with various types of ossicular reconstruction.
