Respected Ma’am I have a doubt regarding CMOM repair
-
In Myringoplasty, why is a graft being placed if removing epithelization of the TM will allow healing
-
If the tympanomeatal flap is being raised to cover the TM, then what is the use of the graft in Myringoplasty specially.
-
The graft acts as a template and a support over which the epithelial and endothelial layer will grow .
-
the tympanomeatal flap is raised to first access the complete perforation and after the graft is placed , when it is replaced over the graft , the graft gets a support all around and extrusion is prevented .
