Abstract

In closing an uncomplicated central drum defect the technique known as an ‘underlay’is widely used. This method has certain advantages and yields good results as far as both healing and hearing are concerned. In an attempt further to improve reults the authors give an account of a series of myringoplasties and specifically discuss the unsuccessful cases. By a slight alteration in the operative technique used in the series presented, the authors believe that some failures can be avoided.
