Abstract
Background: Cubism graft technique offers controlled thinning of the cartilage and prevents over-curling. This article compares tragal perichondrium with the new cubism graft in tympanoplasty in small- to medium-size tympanic membrane perforations.
Methodology: In our study, we included 40 patients, where tragal perichondrium was used as a graft in 20 patients, while cubism graft with tragal cartilage was used in the other 20 patients.
Results: Only two patients had a failure in graft uptake in the tragal perichondrium group, while three patients had a failure in graft uptake in the group where cubism graft with tragal cartilage was used. Significant closure of the air-bone gap (≥ 9 dB) was observed in post-operative audiogram at three-month follow-up in both groups.
Conclusion: This study concludes that the new cubism graft is comparable to tragal perichondrium graft in terms of graft uptake and closure of the air-bone gap.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Laryngology & Otology (JLO) is a leading, monthly journal containing original scientific articles and clinical records in otology, rhinology, laryngology and related specialties. Founded in 1887, JLO is absorbing reading for ENT specialists and trainees. The journal has an international outlook with contributions from around the world, relevant to all specialists in this area regardless of the country in which they practise. JLO contains main articles (original, review and historical), case reports and short reports as well as radiology, pathology or oncology in focus, a selection of abstracts, book reviews, letters to the editor, general notes and calendar, operative surgery techniques, and occasional supplements. It is fully illustrated and has become a definitive reference source in this fast-moving subject area. Published monthly an annual subscription is excellent value for money.
