  • Objective

    This study evaluated the functional results of the superior pedicled composite multi-fractured osteoperiosteal flap technique. This method is a novel technique for the reconstruction of the external auditory canal. The study also examined the effect of the superior pedicled composite multi-fractured osteoperiosteal flap technique on patients’ disease-related quality of life.

    Method

    A total of 37 patients who underwent the superior pedicled composite multi-fractured osteoperiosteal flap technique were enrolled in the study. Their functional hearing results and disease-related quality of life scores were evaluated.

    Results

    A significant improvement was observed in the patients’ hearing scores at the post-operative sixth month relative to the pre-operative period, and the patients’ disease-related quality of life increased significantly.

    Conclusion

    The superior pedicled composite multi-fractured osteoperiosteal flap method can be safely used, especially in patients undergoing retrograde mastoidectomy because of limited cholesteatoma. This method contributes to improving patients’ hearing levels and disease-related quality of life.
