Abstract:
Ear lobule fat was used as graft material for the closure of small size central perforation of tympanic membrane. We describe this procedure as minimyringoplasty. This study was done over a period of 2 year on fifty properly selected cases. Closure of perforation was found in 92% of cases within 2–3 months of surgery. Hearing gain was 7 dB on an average and morbidity was insignificant in successful cases.
