Abstract:
Chronic endotympanic depression is a pathological situation which leads to tympanic atelectasis, retraction pockets and cholesteatoma. It is also at the origin of tympanoplasty failure. Tragal composite perichondrium-cartilage graft is a procedure which gives good results in these difficult surgical cases.
