Objectives: The objective of our case series was to assess the success rate and efficacy of the triple-c cartilage tympanoplasty by transcanal approach. Study Design: A retrospective analysis of patients subjected to the technique was conducted. Methods: 20 cases who met the inclusion criteria were assessed by otomicroscopy and pure tone audiometry before and 2 months after the surgery. Results: All patients had complete take-up of the graft and a hearing improvement which was statistically significant. Conclusions: Thus the triple-c technique provides an effective method of closing nonmarginal perforations of the tympanic membrane.展开更多
