    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Medial grafting is a crucial procedure in otologic surgery.
    • Developing effective and reliable grafting techniques is essential for improving patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and evaluate a specific medial grafting technique for tympanic membrane repair.
    • To report the success rates of this technique in both remote and private practice settings.

    Main Methods:

    • Fresh temporalis fascia is utilized as the graft material.
    • The fascia is placed medial to the tympanic membrane remnant.
    • Stainless steel wire microclips are used to secure the graft to the remnant.

    Main Results:

    • The technique achieved a success rate exceeding 94% in the Alaskan 'bush' setting.
    • In a private practice, the success rate was slightly better than 97%.

    Conclusions:

    • This medial grafting technique demonstrates high efficacy for tympanic membrane repair.
    • The method is effective in both challenging remote environments and standard clinical practice.
