Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 47
Abstract
[b] OBJECTIVE[/b]: To evaluate the result of tympanoplasty type I in inactive mucosal type of chronic suppurative otitis media with and without cortical mastoidectomy. [b]METHODS[/b]: This prospective study was carried out in the department of ENT & HNS in a tertiary care hospital of western U.P, where 80 patients with inactive mucosal type of chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) were included. The period of study was from Aug. 2013 to July 2014. The age and sex matched patients were divided into two groups of 40 each. Half of the patients underwent tympanoplasty type I and rest tympanoplasty type I with cortical mastoidectomy. All the patients underwent underlay technique tympanoplasty with temporalis fascia graft. Patients were Followedup after six weeks, six months and one year. [b]RESULTS[/b]: Hearing improvement was comparable in both groups. There was no significant difference in graft uptake between group I and group II cases. [b]CONCLUSION:[/b] Cortical Mastoidectomy performed in inactive mucosal type of CSOM shows no statistically significant difference over tympanoplasty type I done without mastoidectomy.
