Abstract

To the editor, Cartilage or cartilage-perichondrium composite in various forms has been frequently used as graft material to repair the defects left by chronic otitis media; and the tragus is the major site to harvest the needed cartilage [1, 2]. Usually, the harvest is achieved through an additional incision on the lateral or posteromedial of tragal tip [2, 3]. In our experiences of transcanal otosurgery, we found that tragal cartilage could also be obtained conveniently through only endaural incision which was also the access of main otosurgery. Here we present our method.
