AbstractForty cases of failed combined approach tympanoplasty were analysed. The commonest cause of failure was adhesions between the facial ridge and the tympanic membrane, causing segmental attico-mastoid malaeration in 51.3 per cent of cases followed-up continually. Other causes were, large dermoids, incomplete removal of squamous epithelium, and eustachian tube obstruction. Eustachian tube dysfunction did not appear to be a major cause of failure.
