Platelet Rich Fibrin Augmented Tympanoplasty Versus Cartilage Tympanoplasty

cartilage tympanoplasty procedure entails repairing the tympanic membrane perforation by using a piece of cartilage harvested from the patient's auricle.

platelet rich fibrin augmented tympanoplasty entails performing the traditional tympanoplasty using the tempralis fascia as a grafting material. However, platelet rich fibrin clot is obtained from the patient's own blood, and applied to the graft to enhance healing process.
