Anatomical and functional results were compared in a series of 60 tympanic homografts alone with those obtained after 80 moulded autografts. Anatomically, the moulded autografts were definitely superior complications of microperforations in approximately one-third of cases. However, from the functional point of veiw, homografts appear to provide better results, particular when the ossicles are intact.
