Background: The slicing method that is used for thinning the cartilage graft may cause forming complications in tympanoplasty. Besides, double-layered grafting techniques may be required when graft medialization is observed.
Method: This article presents a new and controlled graft cartilage thinning and the cubism graft-harvesting technique in tympanoplasty.
Conclusion: Thanks to this new technique, over-curling and undesirable fractures of the cartilage island graft can be prevented and the obtained cartilaginous dust can be mixed with platelet-rich fibrin to form the cubism graft. This combined cartilage thinning and cubism graft technique provided 100% graft success and an average air-bone gap gain of 16.3 ± 2.9 dB (10.7-22.3 dB) in our series of 22 patients. In conclusion, 100% graft success, successful tympanic membrane re-epithelialization and significant auditory improvement can be achieved with this method.

"COMPARISON OF TRAGAL PERICHONDRIUM WITH CUBISM GRAFT IN ENDOSCOPIC TYMPANOPLASTY IN SMALL TO MEDIUM SIZE TYMPANIC MEMBRANE PERFORATIONS".

Objectives: The aim of this prospective, randomized-controlled study is to analyze the outcomes of a new graft technique in tympanoplasty and compare its outcomes with cartilage island graft plus extra perichondrium.
Methods: A total of 44 patients with noncomplicated chronic otitis media were included in this prospective randomized-controlled clinical trial. Patients were randomly divided into 2 double-layer graft groups: The cartilage island graft + cubism graft (study group) and the cartilage island graft + extra perichondrium (control group).
