Background: Ideal graft material in revision tympanoplasty is a topic of much research. Cartilage being sturdy and stable even in negative pressure situations, is a viable option. Aims and Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate graft uptake and hearing improvement using the technique of island of tragal cartilage as a graft material in revision tympanoplasty. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study of total of 60 Type 1 revision tympanoplasty surgeries which were done using tragal cartilage island graft from December 2017 to December 2019 in our institute with a follow-up of 3 months. Results: Graft uptake in our study was found to be 93.33%. Four patients showed a re-perforation during follow-up. The mean preoperative air-bone gap (ABG) was 28.13 dB, while the postoperative mean ABG was 16.83 dB and the mean gain was 12.83 dB. Conclusion: It is thus worthwhile to consider island of tragal cartilage as a graft material in revision tympanoplasty.
