Abstract
Thirty-nine patients (42 ears) who have had a cultured autologous epit helial cell graft technique to a continuously discharging mastoid cavi ty have been evaluated to determine the continued effectiveness of thi s procedure. A postal questionnaire indicated a 58% improvement in bot h the smell and quantity of discharge, and our conclusion is that this is a very effective measure to provide extended symptomatic improveme nt in this troublesome condition.
