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
Tympanic part of the temporal bone part of the temporal bone. In all extant and extinct primates, including humans, the auditory bulla is formed by the petrosal bone (the petrous part of the temporal bone). This is a diagnostic trait that can be used to distinguish primates, including anthropoids, tarsiers, lemurs, and lorises, from all other mammals. Tympanic part of the temporal bone The tympanic part of the temporal bone is a curved plate of bone lying below the squamous part of the temporal bone, in front of the mastoid process, and surrounding the external part of the ear canal. It originates as a separate bone
