Herein we explain the experiences we have had, in the ORL department of the HCU of Valencia, al along a period of seven years, by using the formaldehyde formed fascia graft, exposing the anatomical and functional results obtained after a minimum pursuit of five years on a sequence of 188 myringoplasties. With such method we got to close the tympanic membrane, and that they remain entire after five years, on the 72.87% of the cases, getting improvement of audition determined by a reduction of the air-bone gap greater than 15 dB, in the 62.77% of the cases. Such results are obtained with a very slight number of complications. This all makes us to consider this technique as the proper one in cases where perforation is greater than 50% of tympanic membrane.
