“…Wullstein classified the operations as types I through V, based on the concepts of sound transformation at the oval window and sound protection of the round window. Subsequently, many otologic surgeons contributed to the development and refinement of tympanoplasty techniques [19,20,24,36,67,71,81]. Tympanomastoid surgery is quite successful in controlling infection and preventing recurrent disease, with reported success rates in excess of 80-90% [12,48].…”

Four decades after the introduction of tympanoplasty, the goal of achieving stable and long-term hearing improvement after tympanoplasty surgery for chronic otitis media continues to be elusive. In this review, we focus on the current status of our understanding of the mechanics and pathology of the middle ear after tympanoplasty surgery. We also analyze some problems and challenges faced by clinicians and basic scientists in the quest for improved postoperative hearing results.

They called this the modified endaural incision 5 . Farrior reported raising an elongated conchal canal flap to be used at the conclusion of surgery to cover the posterior canal wall 6 …”
