“…Therefore, skin grafts were not used in that period of time. In more recent years, investigators such as Guilford and Wright, 9 Cremers and Smeets, 10 and many others have rediscovered the use of split-thickness and full thickness graft in the repair of the post-operative external auditory canal and mastoid cavities.…”

Objective Post-mastoidectomy delayed cavity healing is a challenge to manage. This study aimed to cut down healing time with a simple technique (fascia with a skin graft) and compared it with controls without this technique. Method The current study was a prospective non-randomised controlled study, conducted in a tertiary referral hospital. Thirty cases and 30 controls with squamosal type chronic otitis media were studied. Results By the end of first month, 23.3 per cent of cases had healed compared with 3.3 per cent of controls. At the third month follow up, 83.3 per cent of cases and 53.3 per cent of controls had healed. At the sixth month follow up, 93.3 per cent of cases and 86 per cent of controls had healed. Conclusion Healing of the mastoid cavity, as evidenced by epithelialisation and formation of a dry cavity, was faster in cases that received the graft when compared with controls without the graft.

“…The concept of skin grafting in otologic surgery, as noted by Morris et al 1 , was first introduced by Thiersch in the 1800s and was subsequently advocated by Siebenmann to promote healing in open‐cavity mastoidectomy. Since the 1950s, the technique has received sporadic attention in the literature, usually in the setting of acquired canal stenosis repair 2‐4 . The technique used by the author (taught by Michael M. Paparella, MD) is presented, along with illustrative cases and caveats for successful grafting.…”

Proper healing after surgery of the external auditory canal and open-cavity mastoid depend on epithelialization of exposed surfaces. This may be retarded by the formation of abundant granulation tissue or cicatrix, which can be dealt with by the use of thin, split-thickness skin grafts. This technique, which has received little attention in the literature, is described in detail and nine cases treated for various disorders are illustrated. Patient ages ranged from 5 to 80 years and the mean follow-up was 17.2 years. Results, complications, and caveats for successful grafting are presented.
