pubmed:abstractText |
The effect of grafting mastoid cavities with small Davis cutaneous pinch grafts was assessed in 15 patients. Following revision of the cavity and Davis pinch grafting the resultant cavity was completely dry in 13 patients (87%) over a period ranging from 1 to 30 months with a mean of 7.3 months, with five becoming dry within 1 month. Patient satisfaction with respect to reduction in discharge and smell was excellent (87%). We believe that the Davis graft technique has a beneficial role in persistent post-mastoidectomy otorrhoea especially when previous standard revision techniques have failed.
