Original contributionReceived 18 April 2010. Available online 15 September 2010. AbstractCartilage has shown to be a promising graft material to close tympanic membrane perforations. However, due to its rigid quality, doubts are raised regarding its sound conduction properties. It has been suggested that acoustic benefit may be obtained by thinning the cartilage. We describe our innovative method for harvesting tragal cartilage from the same endaural incision and also describe preparation of the graft by slicing it. We present our 3-year experience of shield cartilage type 1 tympanoplasty using sliced tragal cartilage–perichondrium composite graft. AimThe aim of this study was to prove the success rate of our technique of shield cartilage tympanoplasty using sliced tragal cartilage graft in terms of functional and anatomic results. Study designRetrospective analysis of type 1 cartilage tympanoplasties using sliced tragal cartilage was carried out in MIMER Medical College and Sushrut ENT Hospital during May 2005 to January 2008 with a minimum follow-up of 2 years. Method and materialsA total of 223 ears were operated by our technique. ResultsThe overall success rate of our technique was 98.20% in terms of perforation closure and air bone gap closure within 7.06 ± 3.39 dB. The success rates in the various age group are as follows: 11 to 20 years, 97.67%; 21 to 40 years, 99.12%; and 41 to 60 years, 96.96%. ConclusionOur technique of type 1 cartilage tympanoplasty achieves good anatomic and functional results. Article Outline

Review of my book by Dr .V.Anand
The Authors have collected large number of cases and have photographed the normal and pathological conditions of middle ear.
There are excellent endoscopic illustration of very rare conditions as well as common. But some photos are not clear
This books covers majority of topics to give wider dimension of ear pathologies.
The colour photographs are self explanatory, realistic and brilliant.
The footnotes are explanatory and crisp. This book will help budding otologists to learn from these illustrations. This work will help students of otology to diagnose middle ear pathology and to formulate proper management for the patients. This book also serves to emphasize on the importance of documentation.

review of my book by Dr.Nilesh.N.Madkikar
'Endoscopic Color Atlas of Ear Diseases 'written by Dr Mubarak M. Khan and Dr Sapna R. Parab(published by Jaypee Brothers) represents An excellent clinical compilation of various Otological disorders that is seldom is seen in one book.
Dr. Mubarak Khan has always been a teacher with that extra edge that helps make students understand a subject better, and I have been just one of the thousands that have benefited. This color atlas published by him and Dr. Sapna Parab is a medium which has given the opportunity for all students / general practitioners' to gain the most that one book can offer in clinical otology.
I have always believed in the sense of vision that can leave an everlasting imprint on the minds of all. This book is a beautiful picturesque assembly of almost all the clinical disorders that an ENT surgeon is bound to encounter in day to day practice, some of which are not so easy to diagnose, and some rarely seen. Dr Mubarak Khan's 16 years of dedication and passion towards otology is clearly visible in each page of the 163 page atlas which contains 271 high quality clinical pictures making this an excellent otologic atlas for all to own.
It's with great pleasure and confidence that I recommend 'Endoscopic Color Atlas of Ear Diseases ' to all my colleagues and juniors.
