Aural and non‐aural disorders that are relative or are absolute contraindications to tympanoplasty surgery are discussed. Particular attention is focused on non‐aural convert general medical conditions that may escape the otologist's attention as he is not daily concerned in the management of such conditions. The aural contra‐indications are dealt with briefly because of the obvious and well known disorders that are familiar to all otologists.
