Myringoplasty

Myringoplasty is a reconstructive surgical procedure aimed at restoring the function of the eardrum. This involves either healing the eardrum or recreating it. In retromyringic myringoplasty, a free graft (autologous fascia from the temporalis muscle, perichondrium, cartilage) is placed under the eardrum ( underlay ).
