Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 6
Abstract
Background and objectives : According to the Wullstein classification type 1 tympanoplasty is the defect in the tympanic membrane in the forms perforation which is repaired with a graft. It is also called Myringoplasty.Various graft materials have been used to close ear drum (tympanic membrane) perforations. Study was tocompare the outcomes of type 1 tympanoplasty with graft materials used by temporalis fascia and cartilage. Materials and Method: A retrospective review was undertaken of primary type 1 tympanoplasties using pieces of cartilages from the tragus, concha and temporalis fascia from October 2015 to October 2017. The study was conducted in the department Otorhinolaryngology, IQCITY Medical College and Narayana Multispecialty Hospital, India. Result: The total numbers of cases were 48.Average operated patients age group were 15-52. The numbers of male patients were 25 and female 23. In total, 31cases were operated on using tragal and conchal cartilage graft a nd rest of the 17 cases using temporalis fascia.At the 6 months of followup, successful closure of the tympanic membrane was achieved in 100% of cases in cartilage group and 82.35% in the temporalis fascia group. The average air bone gap in the cartilages group was7±2.23 dB and 8.45±2.35 dB in the temporalis fascia group in the 6 months of follow-ups. Conclusion: The overall success rate for type 1 cartilage tympanoplasty is higher than the temporalis fascia tympanoplasty.
