The Impact of Canalplasty on Outcomes of Medial Graft Tympanoplasty

Conclusions: Data from the current study suggest that canalplasty offers benefit regarding closure rate in medial graft tympanoplasty. Use of cartilage also portended a higher rate of perforation closure. Canalplasty should be considered when using medial graft techniques if exposure is limited due to bony canal anatomy.
