External Auditory Canal Reconstruction and Mastoid Obliteration Using Modified Palva Flap in Canal Wall Down Mastoidectomy With Tympanoplasty.

CONCLUSIONS: The external auditory canal volume slightly increased, but the status of mastoid obliteration was well maintained 1 year after surgery. The modified Palva flap used in this study is an easy and effective method in external auditory canal reconstruction and mastoid obliteration. PMID: 31092030 [PubMed - in process]
