T-tube with tragus cartilage flange in long-term middle ear ventilation. 1990

L J Hall

This was a study of the use of tragus cartilage as a flange for a T-tube in the hope of achieving long-term middle ear ventilation. This procedure was performed on 31 ears in 25 patients. Average length of follow-up was 24.2 months, ranging from 6 to 39 months. Five patients had tympanomastoid procedures done in conjunction with the cartilage tube. One of the patients with a tympanomastoid procedure had rejection of the T-tube and cartilage at 11 months postoperatively. None of the tubes without another procedure was rejected.

D002356 Cartilage A non-vascular form of connective tissue composed of CHONDROCYTES embedded in a matrix that includes CHONDROITIN SULFATE and various types of FIBRILLAR COLLAGEN. There are three major types: HYALINE CARTILAGE; FIBROCARTILAGE; and ELASTIC CARTILAGE. Cartilages

D001705 Bioprosthesis Prosthesis, usually heart valve, composed of biological material and whose durability depends upon the stability of the material after pretreatment, rather than regeneration by host cell ingrowth. Durability is achieved 1, mechanically by the interposition of a cloth, usually polytetrafluoroethylene, between the host and the graft, and 2, chemically by stabilization of the tissue by intermolecular linking, usually with glutaraldehyde, after removal of antigenic components, or the use of reconstituted and restructured biopolymers.

D014432 Tympanic Membrane An oval semitransparent membrane separating the external EAR CANAL from the tympanic cavity (EAR, MIDDLE). It contains three layers: the skin of the external ear canal; the core of radially and circularly arranged collagen fibers; and the MUCOSA of the middle ear.
