<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>

Abstract Background Tympanoplasty is the well-established procedure for closure of perforations of tympanic membrane. Study Design This study was a prospective comparative study. Objective The objective of this study was to compare the hearing improvement and graft uptake rate between dry and wet tympanoplasty performed on tubotympanic type of chronic suppurative otitis media. Materials and Methods One hundred forty patients with tubotympanic type of chronic otitis media were selected and categorized into dry and wet ears. Tympanoplasty was performed using temporalis fascia by underlay technique in all cases. Postoperatively, graft uptake rate and hearing improvement were analyzed. Results The graft uptake rate was equal in both dry and wet ears, which was statistically insignificant. There was no statistically significant difference in the hearing improvement between the dry ears and wet ears (χ – 2.39, p = 0.122). Conclusion Factors such as age, sex, and status of the contralateral ear and wet ear did not have any impact on the postoperative graft uptake of tympanoplasty. There was no difference in the graft uptake between the dry and wet ears and there was no statistically significant difference between hearing improvement in both and wet ears.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">The main objective of the study was to assess and compare the graft uptake, hearing improvement, complications in large, subtotal, and anterior moderate perforations by each technique viz; superiorly based circumferential tympanomeatal flap tympanoplasty (STT)/full cuff and anterior anchoring flap tympanoplasty (AAT)/anterior tucking. </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">In our study of 30 cases age group in the range of 10 years to 60 years. The mean air bone gap for the 8 patients with anterior moderate perforation was 31.75 db, for 17 patients with large central perforations was 38.75 db and for 5 patients with subtotal perforations was 41.4 db.  </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Mean air bone gap closure after 3 months of surgery in the STT group was 21.4 db while that after 6months of the surgery for the same group was 22.06 db. Mean air bone gap closure after 3 months of surgery in the AAT group was 18.2 db while that after 6months of the surgery for the same group was 18.73 db. </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Comparing the air bone gap closure in patients who underwent surgery by AAT and STT technique we found that there is no statistical difference. Both techniques (viz: superiorly based circumferential tympanomeatal flap tympanoplasty and anteriorly anchoring flap tympanoplasty) can be used for the repair of large, subtotal, and anterior tympanic membrane central perforations in chronic suppurative otitis media of mucosal type.</span></p>
