Abstract:
We describe our innovative technique of endoscopic cartilage tympanoplasty using cartilage fashioned as umbrella in stapes absent condition using endoscope holder. Tragal cartilage disc of 3 × 3 mm dimensions with a circular slot of 0.8 mm to accommodate the vertical strut measuring 3 mm × 7 mm in cases with absent incus and stapes. Tympanic membrane reconstruction was done, with or without attic reconstruction, using sliced tragal cartilage of less than 0.5 mm thickness.
