THE literature concerning tympanoplasty still continues to be voluminous. The purpose of this review is to "boil this down" until a reader has quick access to only the most significant new developments during 1967. Hence, many interesting and valuable papers cannot even be mentioned in this extremely concise report. Attention is called to a recently published book by Horst Wullstein, Operationen zur Verbesserung des Gehores, published by George Thieme Verlag in Stuttgart in 1968. This publication is an excellent work on the subject of tympanoplasty.

Research in Tympanoplasty

Morphology of the facial canal is described in minute detail by Anson et al.¹

1. The facial canal through part of its course is usually divided into two semicanals in the superior half of the vertical segment, one for reception of the stapedius muscle.
   
2. The facial canal is formed by growth of the outer periosteal layer of the otic capsule.
