Autologous temporalis fascia ...Study Participants
0This is a prospective, randomized trial to evaluate tympanoplasty outcomes using Biodesign SIS graft compared to autologous temporalis fascia, the most commonly used graft for repair of tympanic membrane.
Patients 18 years or older will undergo primary tympanoplasty without mastoidectomy. The patients will be randomized into groups receiving Biodesign versus autograft temporalis fascia for repair.
Acellular matrix derived from porcine small intestine submucosa
An autologous graft for tympanic membrane repair
Patient's perforated tympanic membrane will be repaired with an acellular matrix derived from porcine small intestine submucosa, Biodesign Otologic graft
Patient's perforated tympanic membrane will be repaired with autologous temporalis fascia.
Inclusion Criteria: Patients undergoing primary tympanoplasty without mastoidectomy. Exclusion Criteria: Patients with a known biologic sensitivity or a cultural objection to use of porcine materials.
