Myringoplasty perforation and a small part should also extend over the posterior canal wall. The tympanomeatal flap is then replaced. The temporal fascia is harvested. An incision is made to raise medial meatal skin with tympanic membrane epithelium. The graft is placed on the outer surface of the tympanic membrane and a slit is made to tuck it under the handle of malleus. The ear is packed with gelfoam and antibiotics, and the incision is closed. Finally mastoid dressing is performed. Myringoplasty Myringoplasty is the closure of the perforation of pars tensa of the tympanic membrane. When myringoplasty is combined with
Membrane gas separation when the pores in the polymer membrane appear and disappear faster relative to the movement of the particles. In a typical membrane system the incoming feed stream is separated into two components: permeant and retentate. Permeant is the gas that travels across the membrane and the retentate is what is left of the feed. On both sides of the membrane, a gradient of chemical potential is maintained by a pressure difference which is the driving force for the gas molecules to pass through. The ease of transport of each species is quantified by the permeability, P. With the assumptions of
