Abstract
Post tympanoplasty graft mucolization leads to continuous discharging ear even after successful graft uptake because of presence of mucous secreting glands on the lateral aspect of graft .Process of epitheliasation or mucolisation of margins of perforation in the settings of chronic otitis media is known .Total annulus excision is an interlay type of tympanoplasty where graft is kept between mucosa medially and canal skin epithelium laterally .The advantage of TAE(total annulus excision ) is complete excision of diseased tympanic membrane and no weeping neotympanium in future .excision of annulus also ensures rich neovascularization around the graft.The neoannulus is kept at original place to prevent anterior angle blunting .
