Dual graft fusion for external auditory canal reconstruction.

BACKGROUND

External auditory canal (EAC) atresia is a congenital anomaly leading to hearing impairment. Various techniques have been used for its surgical correction, but no gold standard exists.

METHOD: This paper describes a fascia-skin composite grafting technique utilizing temporal muscle fascia and postauricular skin for EAC reconstruction.

CONCLUSION

Temporal fascia-skin composite grafting offers a reliable and effective option for EAC reconstruction with favorable results and minimal complications.
