In 1982, 40 composite cartilage perichondrial autografts performed to prevent recurrent cholesteatoma secondary to canal wall defects were reviewed. A follow‐up of those cases, plus 62 new cases, as well as the composite autografts for severe tympanic membrane retractions (55 cases) and selected tympanoplasties (22 cases) is presented. No recurrent cholesteatomas or retraction pockets developed at the graft sites, with one graft failure in the latter group.
