Background: Type I tympanoplasty is a surgical technique used to restore the integrity of tympanic membrane as well as improve the hearing in inactive mucosal chronic otitis media. There are two main methods that are underlay and overlay in between both is interlay. The aim of the present study is to analyse and compare the results of the two most commonly used type I tympanoplasty techniques, underlay and the interlay technique in chronic otitis media with mucosal disease in large central perforation, in terms of graft uptake and hearing improvement. Subjects and Methods: This is a randomized prospective study of 100 cases of inactive mucosal chronic otitis media with total or large anterior central perforation between October2017 to September 2019 in Anugarah Narayan Magadh Medical College & Hospital, Gaya. Half had gone through Interlay and half by Underlay technique of Type I Tympanoplasy surgery. Results: The graft uptake rate in this study was 96% and 90% for Interlay and Underlay technique respectively. Postoperatively mean air bone gap maximally reduced in the Interlay technique. Conclusion: The present study showed that Interlay method had better graft uptake rate as well as hearing improvement in total and large anterior central perforation of inactive mucosal chronic otitis media than the Underlay technique.

Background: Perforation of the tympanic membrane may occur from various reasons. Most of these perforations heal spontaneously, whereas the remaining long-standing perforations that lead to recurrent ear discharge need tympanoplasty. Interlay Type 1 Tympanoplasty,a newer technique has shown promising results with higher success ratein terms of hearing gain and graft uptake. Objective: To analyze the results of interlay Type 1 Tympanoplasty in terms of graft uptake and hearing improvement in cases of inactive mucosal chronic otitis media (COM) with large central perforation. Methods: This is a prospective study of 24 months (January 2018 to December 2019) duration conducted in department of E.N.T, Khulna medical college, Khulna and data was collected from the 60 patients admitted for tympanoplasty. Results were calculated in terms of graft accepted or rejected and decrease in air bone gap. Result: The graft uptake rate in the present study was found to be 91.67% and the patients reported an improvement in terms of hearing. Pre operatively mean air bone gap was 26.5dBand post operatively after 12 weeks mean air bone gap improved to 17.58dB. Conclusion: Interlay Type 1 Tympanoplasty is an effective technique over conventional methods in terms of both graft uptake as well as hearing improvement in large central perforation.

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.

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.

AbstractObjective:This study aimed to compare the success rate of type I tympanoplasty in active (wet) and inactive (dry) mucosal chronic otitis media.Methods:A prospective study was performed of 35 patients each with dry ear and wet ear undergoing type I tympanoplasty in the Otolaryngology Department, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, India. All patients underwent type I tympanoplasty between January 2010 and June 2011 by the post-auricular approach. Samples of the remnant tympanic membrane were sent for histopathological examination.Results:After a minimum follow up of one year, the success rate was 88.6 per cent for dry ears and 80 per cent for wet ears. Neither the type (p = 0.526) nor the presence (p = 0.324) of discharge influenced the success rate. Histopathological examination of the tympanic membrane margins was performed for 46 patients: of these, 19 showed evidence of vascularity and 27 did not. There was no significant difference in success rate between groups (p = 0.115).Conclusion:The success rate was not influenced by the presence of ear discharge at the time of surgery, and tympanic membrane vascularity did not influence graft uptake.

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.
