Patients of similar age and middle-ear pathology were selected to make the two groups as homogeneous as possible. An underlay type one tympanoplasty, using either a ring graft or temporalis fascia, was performed: 40 children were included in the ring graft group and 42 in the temporalis fascia group. All procedures were performed by the same surgeon. A successful anatomical outcome was considered to comprise full, intact healing of the graft without perforation, retraction, lateralisation or blunting, for at least one year post-operatively. Patients' post-operative pure tone average air\u2013bone gap and speech reception threshold were compared with pre-operative levels, within and between the two groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215110000885_sec5\"><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Type one tympanoplasty using a ring graft technique resulted in a significantly greater graft acceptance rate (95 per cent) compared with the temporalis fascia technique (76.2 per cent;<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.01). Pure tone average air\u2013bone gap and speech reception threshold levels improved significantly in both the ring graft and fascia groups (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001). There was no significant difference in audiometric results between the two groups (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&gt;\u00a00.05), although there was a trend towards better post-operative results in the ring group.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215110000885_sec6\"><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p>In our paediatric patients, type one tympanoplasty with a modified cartilage\u2013perichondrium composite ring graft yielded good anatomical and functional results. The anatomical results obtained using this graft (with its unique appearance and stability during and after surgery) were superior to those for temporalis fascia. The ring graft group had equivalent, if not better, post-operative audiometric results, compared with the temporalis fascia group. Thus, the ring graft is believed to be effective in enabling both tympanic membrane closure and rapid hearing improvement, in the paediatric population.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022215110000885","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,4,20]],"date-time":"2010-04-20T09:46:44Z","timestamp":1271756804000},"page":"967-974","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Comparison between cartilage\u2013perichondrium composite \u2018ring\u2019 graft and temporalis fascia in type one tympanoplasty in children"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"124","author":[{"given":"O A","family":"Albirmawy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,4,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref52","first-page":"331","article-title":"Myringoplasty: a review of 472 cases","volume":"89","author":"Sheehy","year":"1980","journal-title":"Ann Otol"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref50","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0194-5998(96)70205-X"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref48","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-200310000-00017"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref47","first-page":"187","article-title":"Tympanoplasty using conchal cartilage graft","volume":"57","author":"Puls","year":"2003","journal-title":"Acta Otolaryngol Belg"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref43","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00016480500529322"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref41","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0196-0709(92)90118-D"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref40","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-200108000-00027"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref39","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-199805000-00006"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref45","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00016480903145346"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref38","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-199003000-00007"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref37","first-page":"27","article-title":"Tragal cartilage in tympanoplasty: anatomic and functional results in 306 cases","volume":"29","author":"Cavaliere","year":"2009","journal-title":"Acta Otorhinolaryngol Ital"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref30","volume-title":"Scott-Brown's Otolaryngology","author":"Mills","year":"1997"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-008-0645-5"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-199312000-00006"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348949210100907"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-200012000-00002"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-197601000-00015"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-197903000-00013"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-008-0619-7"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref14","first-page":"266","article-title":"Pericard: a new biomaterial for tympanoplasty: preliminary report","volume":"6","author":"Pfattz","year":"1985","journal-title":"Am J Otol"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-199708000-00016"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000101540"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref31","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otc.2006.08.006"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref35","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"344","DOI":"10.1177\/014556139207100803","article-title":"Autograft tragal and conchal palisade cartilage and perichondrium in tympanomastoid reconstruction","volume":"61","author":"Heermann","year":"1992","journal-title":"Ear Nose Throat J"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1967.00760040482004"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref46","first-page":"147","article-title":"Tragal cartilage in tympanic membrane reconstruction","volume":"57","author":"Gerard","year":"2003","journal-title":"Acta Otolaryngol Belg"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02129204"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref44","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0196-0709(00)80039-3"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref29","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215100078166"},{"key":"S0022215110000885_ref19","first-page":"235","article-title":"Tragus-perichondrium island transplant in middle ear surgery.
