Many graft materials are available for the reconstruction of tympanic membrane (TM) defects, with temporalis fascia and perichondrium representing the most commonly used. In certain situations, however, such as atelectatic TM, cholesteatoma, and revision cases, results with the more traditional materials have not been as gratifying. Cartilage, because of its more rigid quality, tends to resist resorption and retraction in these more difficult cases. While the concept of tympanic membrane reconstruction with cartilage is not new, its routine acceptance as an alternative graft material has been hampered by a lack of understanding of the surgical indications, techniques, and functional results of this material
