Background: Chronic otitis media (COM) is the long-standing infection of a part or whole of middle ear cleft characterized by ear discharge and perforation. It is the commonest ear problem in adult and children. Most common presenting symptoms are ear discharge, mild to severe hearing loss, sometimes tinnitus even vertigo. Treatment of COM is mainly operative. Inactive mucosal variety of COM presents with the perforation in tympanic membrane with non-inflamed middle ear mucosa. The treatment of inactive mucosal variety of COM is Type 1tympanoplasty. It can be done by conventional temporalis fascia or cartilage graft. Both have some merits and demerits. Objective: To compare the the outcomes between reinforcement cartilage graft and temporalis fascia graft in type -1 tympanoplasty. Methods: 86 (43 patients in each group) patients with COM (inactive mucosal) who were admitted in the department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka from January 2018 to June 2019, and had fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected for the study. History, examinations, investigations were done. All patients underwent type 1 tympanoplasty. Prior to surgery relevant investigations were done and informed written consent was taken from all patients. In Group-A reinforcement cartilage tympanoplasty cases and in Group-B temporalis fascia tympanoplasty cases were placed. Post-operative graft uptake rate and hearing gain were compared in two groups Results: The surgical outcomes between reinforcement cartilage tympanoplasty in comparison with temporalis fascia tympanoplasty showed no significant difference of graft uptake rate and hearing gain. Conclusion: Cartilage tympanoplasty has been practised for reconstruction of perforated tympanic membrane in COM since long with variable results. Graft uptake rate in cartilage reinforcement is comparatively better than temporalis fascia graft. So, reinforcement cartilage graft can be adopted as an alternative to temporalis fascia graft in type- I tympanoplasty. Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol 2021; 27(2): 104-110

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Leading cause of deafness in India is chronic suppurative otitis media. Most common cause of TM perforation is chronic suppurative otitis media. With this background this study was to compare hearing results, as well as graft takes for commonly preferred reconstruction techniques of the TM (i.e., temporalis fascia vs. cartilage) in tympanoplasty.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> The present study consists of 60 cases of C.S.O.M (TTD) which was divided into two groups with 30 cases in each group. In first group type1 tympanoplasty was done by Temporalis fascia technique. In second group type 1 tympanoplasty done by tragal cartilage with perichondrium technique. History and otoscopic examination along with pure tone audiometry was performed preoperatively. Postoperative hearing results and graft uptake were compared between two groups, all surgeries were performed through the post aural approach.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Graft uptake results are better with tragal cartilage with perichondrium technique. Hearing improved significantly in both groups. Though this was slightly better in TFT, but not significant statistically.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Graft uptake rates are better with the tragal cartilage with perichondrium technique in comparison of TFT and hearing results are almost equivalent with both techniques.</p>

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">To evaluate the graft uptake rate of the type1 tympanoplasty performed by underlay technique using autologous temporalis fascia graft for the last two years and to assess the hearing improvement in the successfully operated cases with respect to age, sex, size and location of perforation. </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">This prospective Study included 50 patients, who underwent type1tympanoplasty.All operations are performed using an underlay technique and by postural approach. In all the cases, temporalis fascia is used for the reconstruction of TM.<strong> </strong>The data of all the patients regarding preoperative disease, perforation size and location, surgical approach, graft material, pre and postoperative clinical and functional (hearing evaluation by pure-tone audiogram) results are analyzed.  </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Successful closure rate of the TM perforation is 88% and the graft failure rate is 12%. In this study, lowest and highest age of patients at presentation is 13 and 55 years respectively with a mean age of 26.6 years. Most common approaches is post aural. The mean pre and post-operative air conduction threshold in the successful cases are 33.34 dB and 20.20 dB respectively with a mean audiological improvement of around 13 dB.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> The objective of the study was to identify the factors which significantly influence type 1 tympanoplasty success.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A prospective study was performed on 30 patients who underwent type 1 tympanoplasty via underlay technique using temporalis fascia graft from December 2017 to September 2019 in a teaching hospital. Outcome measures were graft uptake rate and hearing gain. The factors assessed were the age and sex, preoperative condition of the ipsilateral and contralateral ears, perforation size, presence of tympanosclerosis, and whether simultaneous cortical mastoidectomy was performed.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> None of the factors proved to have a significant influence on tympanic membrane closure or hearing gain.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The success rate of a type 1 tympanoplasty is dependent on the skills of the surgeon and the type of graft used. Age, sex, laterality of the disease, duration of dry ear, size of the perforation, presence of tympanosclerosis and simultaneous cortical mastoidectomy have no bearing on hearing gain.</p>

Abstract Objectives This study aimed to compare graft take rate after tympanoplasty between adults and paediatric patients, cartilage and fascia grafts, and overlay and underlay techniques. Methods Data were analysed in groups according to the technique (underlay vs overlay), age (paediatric patients vs adults) and graft (cartilage vs temporalis fascia). The main outcome measures were full graft take and the incidence of complications. Results A total of 198 patients (208 ears) were included. Overall, full graft take was achieved in 200 ears (96 per cent). The success rate was higher in adults compared with paediatric patients (97.5 per cent vs 92.25, respectively) but the difference was insignificant. Similarly, higher but insignificant graft take rate was found in the cartilage group compared with fascia group (98.6 per cent vs 94.9 per cent, respectively). Conclusion All cases of overlay tympanoplasty had full graft take (success rate 100 per cent). In the underlay group, successful graft take was achieved in 154 cases (95 per cent). This difference was statistically insignificant.
