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.
