UNLABELLED Cartilage has shown to be a promising graft material to close tympanic membrane perforations. However, due to its rigid quality, doubts are raised regarding its sound conduction properties. It has been suggested that acoustic benefit may be obtained by thinning the cartilage. We describe our innovative method for harvesting tragal cartilage from the same endaural incision and also de...

The relationship between age and results mainly of tympanoplasty was studied in 576 ears with chornic otitis media, including cases with cholesteatoma. These cases were divided into five age groups which were less than 15, 15-29, 30-44, 45-59, and more than 60 years age groups. Regarding types of tympanoplasty, the proportions of type III with columella increased with age. Type 0 was performed ...

LITERATURE REVIEW A literature review was performed in PubMed from January 1, 1900 to January 1, 2013. There were 4,969 studies identified using the search terms “tympanoplasty” or “myringoplasty.” Only papers in English were reviewed. To avoid confusion in the nomenclature, we define office-based myringoplasty as a transcanal procedure performed without sedation or general anesthesia and witho...

Background: Normal Eustachian tube function is one of the important factor required for successful tympanoplasty outcome. A clinically useful test for assessment of Eustachian tube function is still lacking. Aims And Objectives: To evaluate Eustachian tube function by impedance audiometry and compare the outcome of surgery with respect to graft take up in normal and abnormal Eustachian tube fun...

OBJECTIVE We aimed to analyze preoperative and intraoperative clinical characteristics of chronic perforated otitis media by patient age. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed 137 tympanoplasties for chronic perforated otitis media in 133 patients. Exclusion criteria were ear adhesions, cholesteatoma, and a history of tympanoplasty. Patients were divided into a younger group (aged 15-39 years), a...

INTRODUCTION Tympanoplasty is indicated to restore hearing disability and prevent recurrent otorrhea. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was a retrospective review of patients who underwent tympanoplasty with or without mastoidectomy over a 1-year period. RESULTS A total of 789 tympanoplasties were reviewed, with a male-to-female ratio of 1:1.1. In total, 91% and 9% of tympanoplasties were pe...
