 AB    In 1990, the authors first started performing myringoplasty with
       temporal fascia homografts and fibrin glue in the outpatient clinic with
       consequent reduction in expenditure, time and patient physical stress.
       Of primary consideration in homogeneous transplantation is the
       possibility of infection by HIV or other pathogens from donors. The
       fascial grafts were submitted to treatment with 99% ethyl alcohol and
       pasteurization resulting in the inactivation of pathogenic viruses. This
       paper discusses methods, eardrum perforation closing rates, hearing
       improvement and future application of myringoplasty.
