    Graft retraction after tympanoplasty can cause hearing loss. A new surgical technique involves repositioning the graft and using skin grafts to cover the ear canal, successfully treating seven patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Auditory Health

    Background:

    • Graft retraction and lateralization are known complications following tympanoplasty.
    • These complications, particularly with the overlay technique, can lead to significant conductive hearing loss.
    • Understanding the mechanism of graft displacement is crucial for developing corrective strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the complication of graft retraction and lateralization after tympanoplasty.
    • To discuss the underlying mechanisms contributing to this complication.
    • To present a novel surgical technique for correcting graft retraction and lateralization.

    Main Methods:

    • A detailed description of a surgical technique for revision tympanoplasty.

  • The technique involves complete removal of the previous graft, medial placement of a new graft, and coverage of the ear canal bone with a split-thickness skin graft.
  • Evaluation of outcomes in seven cases treated with this method.

    • Main Results:

    • The described surgical technique was successfully applied in seven cases.
    • Successful correction of graft retraction and lateralization was achieved.
    • Restoration of hearing function was observed in the treated patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Graft retraction and lateralization present a significant challenge in tympanoplasty surgery.
    • The described surgical technique offers an effective solution for correcting this complication.
    • This approach holds promise for improving hearing outcomes in patients experiencing graft failure.
