Endoscopic modified cartilage-perichondrium over-underlay myringoplasty without tympanomeatal flap elevating is reliable and effective for repairing large perforations. It improves the long-term graft success rate compared to the endoscopic cartilage-perichondrium transtympanic underlay alone technique. The risk for iatrogenic cholesteatoma is minimal.
