The goal of tympanoplasty is to reconstruct the tympanic membrane and the sound conducting mechanism in a long lasting way. Since its introduction in 1952 by Zoellner and Wullstein, numerous graft materials and methods of placement have been described to reconstruct the tympanic membrane. Temporalis fascia and perichondrium remain the most frequently used material for closure of the drum in tympanoplasty.
