Hearing results of ossicular chain reconstruction with cartilage in type III tympanoplasty in tubotympanic disease
Journal Title: Gujarat Medical Journal - Year 2018, Vol 73, Issue 1
Abstract
This article is to evaluate the functional and hearing outcomes using different cartilages for ossicular chain reconstruction in cases of tubotympanic disease where type III tympanoplasty (minor columella) with canal wall up mastoidectomy is done. The retrospective study is performed at tertiary referral institute which included 30 patients with tympanic membrane perforations requiring tympanic membrane and ossicular chain (type III) reconstruction. Patients with disease extending beyond the aditus requiring canal wall down mastoidectomy were excluded. Ossicular chain reconstruction was performed using different cartilages like tragal cartilage, conchal cartilage or homologus septal spur cartilage. Patients were assessed by comparing pre operative air bone gap( ABG ) with post operative air bone gap(ABG) and thus hearing improvement was assessed at the end of 12 weeks.
