  • Title: Use of autologous osteocyte containing bone pate for closure of tegmental defects.
    Author: Moffat DA, da Cruz MJ, Batten A, Hardy DG.
    Journal: Am J Otol; 1998 Nov; 19(6):819-23. PubMed ID: 9831161.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: This article aimed to describe a new technique for the reconstruction of middle fossa tegmental defects using autologous osteocyte containing bone pate. STUDY DESIGN: The technique is demonstrated using clinical photographs and x-ray examples of tegmental defects. TECHNIQUE: Pliable bone pate graft is manufactured using autologous bone dust, blood, iodine solution, and tissue glue (Tisseel; Immuno, Austria). The graft is placed accurately via a combined mini-middle fossa craniotomy and middle mastoidectomy approach. CONCLUSION: This new technique of middle fossa bony tegmental repair has considerable advantages over previously described methods that use rigid or synthetic materials.
