Objective: Management of anterior perforations of tympanic membrane is a surgical challenge. The objective of this study is to analyse and compare the results of composite cartilage perichondrium island (CCPI) graft and temporalis fascia graft by endoscopic technique in anterior quadrant perforations.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted in a tertiary care centre from 2012-16. A total of 187 ear drums(n) in 168 patients with perforations involving anterior quadrant were included in the study. All the patients were operated completely by endoscopic technique. Tragal Composite cartilage perichondrium island (CCPI) graft was used in 87 ears and temporalis fascia in 100. Each group was categorised into A and B depending on perforation size. The outcome parameters assessed include graft success with regard to perforation size, pre- and postoperative ABG, mean improvement in ABG, ABG closure ratio and graft medialisation/lateralisation status.
Results: Cartilage group had 91.95% (80/87) success rate overall, while fascia had 79% (79/100). In category 1, the success rate for cartilage and temporalis fascia were 89.6% (26/29) and 68.9% (20/29) respectively (p=0.51788). In category 2, the success rates were 93.1% (54/58) and 83.1% (59/71) respectively (p=0.86356). The mean improvement in ABG for both groups were 17.52±3.84dB and 15.26±5.56dB respectively (p=0.04). ABG closure ratio for both the groups were 62.84±11.87 % and 53.6±19.6 % respectively (p=0.0008).
Conclusion: Endoscopic composite cartilage perichondrium island graft is an effective technique in managing perforations of anterior quadrant barring the expertise required for endoscopic ear surgeries.

Background: Over the past decade, facial aesthetics has gained popularity, with a notable increase in upper-face lift procedures. Despite the popularity of brows and forehead lifts, the optimal fixation technique remains controversial. Common methods involve suturing of the temporal fascia or using monocortical miniscrews anchored to the frontal bone.

In this study, the graft success and hearing improvement were compared in patients with subtotal or total tympanic membrane perforations following conchal cartilage-reinforced temporalis fascia graft tympanoplasty (CCRTT) versus traditional tragal island cartilage tympanoplasty (TICT). Fifty Type 1 tympanoplasties performed for subtotal or total tympanic membrane perforation were classified into 2 groups: CCRTT consisted of 23 patients and TICT consisted of 27 patients. The difference between these 2 groups was analyzed by means of graft success, reperforation, and postoperative hearing gain after 12 months.

Background: This investigation assessed patient satisfaction with a temporal incision technique using a super-high superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) flap for midface lifting in a Chinese patient cohort.
Methods: From July 2019 to July 2023, 95 patients underwent midface lifts via a temporal incision approach at our institution. The extent of SMAS flap dissection spanned 2 cm above the outer canthus, to the lower margin of the zygomatic arch inferiorly, and medially to the zygomaticus major muscle.
