A comparative study of myringoplasty using temporalis fascia v/s tragal perichondrium as graft
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of ENT - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Chronic suppurative otitis media is a major cause of morbidity with a large proportion of patients presenting with a tubo-tympanic type of disease. Type I Tympanoplasty has been considered as the standard treatment for such patients. Since the earlier days a number of grafts have been used for this surgery. Yet the controversy and debate remains about which is the best graft material? A good graft material should be easily available, easy to harvest, viable, easy to place and of course should give the best surgical results. Temporalis Fascia as well as tragalperichondrial grafts satisfy these criterias. This study was aimed out to find which amongst these two a better graft material is by comparing the efficacy of tragalperichonodrium as graft to that of Temporalis Fascia.
