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

The study was carried out on 50 patients with central perforation in tympanic membrane ( dry & inactive stage ). The study was done in the department of OTORHINOLARYNGOLOGYof BURDWAN MEDICALCOLLEGE AND HOSPITALover a period of one year. The study was done on comparison between tympanoplasty procedure using temporalis fascia as graft versus cartilage composite graft. Precise history was taken from respective patients in detail and were examined clinically. Patients with dry perforation with good cochlear reserve, intact and mobile ossicular chain, functioning Eustachian tube were selected randomly for the operation. Tympanoplasty procedure using temporalis fascia as graft was done in 50% (n=25) patients and tympanoplasty procedure using cartilage composite graft was done in 50% (n=25) patients. In this study the age range of patients were from 13 to 50 years, the mean age was 26.62 years, the number of male and female was equal. Right sided disease was predominant in our study and the mean duration of symptom was 11.24 months. The mean pre-operative hearing loss (pure tone average by pure tone audiometry) was 37.84 ± 4.65 dB and mean pre operative airbone gap was 22.84 ± 4.65 dB . Post operative Mean air conduction was 23.48 ± 5.54 dB among them 24.2 ± 6.26 dB in the fascial group and 22.76 ± 4.73 dB in the cartilage group. This result is not statistically signicant. Post operative mean air-bone gap was 13.84 ± 5.94 dB among them 14.76 ± 5.6 dB in fascial group and 12.92 ± 6.23 dB in the cartilage group which is not signicant stastistically. Successful graft take-up rate of 88.00% (n=44). The overall success rate among tympanoplasty using temporalis fascia graft( GROUP A ) and tympanoplasty using composite cartilage graft ( GROUP B ) technique were 84.00% (n=21) and 92.00% (n=23) respectively. 12.00% (n=6) patients were marked as failure cases during postoperative follow up period. The overall failure rate among tympanoplasty using temporalis fascia graft( GROUPA) and tympanoplasty using composite cartilage graft ( GROUPB ) technique were 16.00% (n=4) and 8.00% (n=2) respectively. So the distribution of surgical outcome in terms of success rate or failure rate was statistically insignicant in the two study groups (p= 0.384). So the distribution of surgical outcome in terms of success rate or failure rate cartilage composite graft gives a denitely better result than temporalis fascia graft. However, the two method did not differ signicantly in terms of hearing improvement.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Temporalis fascia and cartilage are the most commonly used graft materials, though contradictory reports are available in literature as regards their efficacy in tympanoplasty. The aim of the study was to compare the graft uptake rates and hearing results in case of temporalis fascia and cartilage in type 1 tympanoplasty.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A total of 400 cases with large, subtotal and total perforation were considered in the study. All the selected patients were divided into two groups. Group A in which temporalis fascia graft was used and including 200 cases and cartilage graft was used in Group B patients including 200 cases. Pure tone audiometry was performed preoperatively and postoperatively at 6 months.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> The graft uptake rate was more than 90 percent and more than 80 percent in Group B respectively at the end of 14 week. There was no statistical difference in hearing improvement in both the groups.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Tragal cartilage graft can be used in cartilage tympanoplasty especially in moderate, large and subtotal perforations. The graft has better uptake rate, less graft failure and hearing improvement results were comparable to temporalis fascia graft.</p>

Abstract Background Repair of a perforated tympanic membrane (myringoplasty) can facilitate normal middle ear function, resist infection, and help re-establish normal hearing. Autogenous graft materials are the most popular graft materials used in myringoplasty because of their easy acceptability by the body. This study is conducted to compare between temporalis fascia graft and fascia lata graft in myringoplasty for patients with tubo-tympanic dry perforation. Results A total of 60 patients with persistent dry tympanic membrane perforation were included in our study during the period from January 2018 to May 2020. Patients underwent myringoplasty with temporalis fascia (30 patients as group A) or fascia lata (30 patients as group B). Patients were scheduled for follow-up visits concerning graft status, ear discharge, and audiograms. The mean postoperative air-bone gap in group A was 17.5 ± 4 after 1 month and 8.6 ± 6.9 after 3 months, while in group B, the mean postoperative air-bone gap was 17.6 ± 4.9 after 1 month and 9.4 ± 7.5 after 3 months. There was 90% success in graft uptake in group A, while there was 80% success in group B. Conclusion Using temporalis fascia is still the best and most trustworthy technique of myringoplasty compared to fascia lata graft. However, fascia lata can be a good alternative to temporalis fascia especially in cases of revision myringoplasty, ears having large perforation, or near-total perforation where the chances of residual perforation are high because of the limited margin of remnant tympanic membrane overlapping the graft.
