Objective: To evaluate hearing outcome after type I tympanoplasty in inactive mucous type of chronic otitis media. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study conducted in the department of Otolaryngology & Head Neck Surgery, Sir Salimullah Medical College and Mitford Hospital, Dhaka, from July 2014 to June 2016. 50 cases were selected by matching inclusion and exclusion criteria. Paired t-test and Z test was used to analyze the variables. P values <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: The mean age was found 28.5 years with range from 15 to 41 years and male female ratio was 1.3:1. All patients had intermittent otorrhoea and varying degree of hearing loss. The mean air conduction threshold was 40.2 dB preoperatively and 27.1 dB post-operatively. Air-bone gap was found 26.9 dB in preoperative and 16.1 dB in post-operative group. The differences were statistically significant between preoperative and post-operative group. Thus mean improvement of air conduction threshold was 13.1 dB and air-bone gap was 10.8 dB. Two third (66.%) patients improved <15 db air conduction thresholds and 17(34%) improved ≥15 db air conduction thresholds. Using the proportion of patients with a postoperative hearing within 40 dB as the criterion, this study showed 46(92%) patients achieving this and 40(80%) patients achieving AB gap within 20 db postoperatively. Conclusion: Improvement of air conduction threshold and AB gap after type I tympanoplasty was statistically significant. Thus from this study it can be concluded that type I tympanoplasty is an effective technique for hearing improvement in inactive mucous type of chronic otitis media.

AbstractObjectives:To assess the efficacy of anterior tagging of graft material with respect to graft uptake and hearing results, in type I tympanoplasty.Study design:Prospective, randomised, cohort study.Methods:Sixty patients with chronic otitis media of the mucosal type, with pars tensa perforations, were included in the study. Patients were randomly allocated to two groups: group one underwent type one tympanoplasty with anterior tagging, while group two underwent type one tympanoplasty without anterior tagging. Follow up included evaluation of graft uptake and hearing improvement.Results:There were 33 patients in group one and 27 patients in group two. The overall incidence of successful graft uptake was 96.96 per cent in group one and 81.5 per cent in group two. Closure of central and posterior perforations was successful in 100 per cent of both groups. Closure of anterior and subtotal perforations was successful in 95.45 per cent of group one and 54.54 per cent of group two.Conclusion:Type one tympanoplasty with anterior tagging of graft material is a suitable technique for anterior and subtotal perforations.

Introduction                                                                           In the management of COM in paediatric age group, eradication of the septic foci in the tonsil and the adenoids while addressing the dysfunction of Eustachian tube play a key role This study aims to assess the success rate of type I tympanoplasty with cartilage graft in mucosal type of chronic otits media in paediatric age group and finally, whether concomitant adeno-tonsillectomy plays any role in outcome of surgery or curing the disease process.                                    Materials and Methods                                                          A prospective clinical study was done over a period of one and half years amongst 59 patients, aged between 5 and 12 years, presenting with chronic otitis media with dry central perforation of ear-drum and pure conductive hearing loss. Patients were divided into two groups. Group 1 (n1= 22) underwent type I cartilage tympanoplasty with adenoidectomy/ tonsillectomy/ both in the same sitting and Group 2 (n2= 37) underwent type I cartilage tympanoplasty without any adeno-tonsillectomy.                                                                   Results                                                                                              Graft uptake was 86.4% in Group 1 at 6 months post-operative follow up while that in Group 2 was found to be 86.5%. The mean hearing gain in two groups were found to be 15.91±6.54 dB and 17.02±8.96 dB respectively. No significant difference was found between graft uptakes and hearing gains in two groups at the end of the study.                                                  Conclusion                                                                              Type I cartilage shield tympanoplasty, may be considered as an effective management strategy of paediatric chronic otitis media, mucosal disease. Type I tympanoplasty with concomitant adeno-tosillectomy did not prove to be better than type I tympanoplasty alone in terms of anatomic closure of tympanic perforation and hearing gain.
