چکیده

Materials & Methods; Retrospective evaluation of selected cases operated by the same surgery team between 2000 and 2008. A total of 307 patients with a tympanic membrane perforation or retraction due to chronic otitis media were treated surgically with tympanoplasty with or without mastoidectomy. From these 96 cases who had primary repair of tympanic membrane perforation or retraction with intact ossicular chain and normal middle ear were included into the study. Tympanic membrane perforation was reconstructed by using fascia in 36 while cartilage island graft was used in 60 patients. Temporalis muscle fascia was preferred for simple perforations while cartilage was used in more difficult cases such as retractions or total or subtotal perforations. Preoperative and postoperative pure-tone average air-bone gaps were compared at 250, 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz frequencies. Postoperative failures were compared.

A Short-term Comparison Between Result of Palisade Cartilage Tympanoplasty and Temporalis Fascia Technique

Introduction: The use of cartilage as a grafting material has been advocated in cases where there is a high risk of graft failure, such as subtotal perforations, adhesive processes, and residual defects after primary tympanoplasties. The purpose of this study was to compare the graft acceptance rates and auditory outcomes of cartilage tympanoplasty operations using a palisade technique with tho...

Comparison of Modified Cartilage Shield Tympanoplasty with Tympanoplasty Using Temporalis Fascia Only: Retrospective Analysis of 142 Cases

The current study compares outcomes of modified cartilage shield tympanoplasty (CST) with temporalis fascia tympanoplasty in type I procedures in Indian patients. Graft uptake rates are better with the CST technique and hearing results are almost equivalent with both techniques except at 8000 Hz where improvement in hearing was found better with the use of temporalis fascia alone. The CST techn...

Reinforcement of Sliced Tragal Cartilage Perichondrium Composite Graft with Temporalis Fascia in Type I Tympanoplasty: Our Techniques and Results

In our otological practice, we prefer sliced tragal cartilageperichondrium grafting for reconstruction of the tympanic membrane perforations. In an attempt to reduce residual and recurrent perforations in our series of cartilage tympanoplasty using sliced tragal cartilage perichondrium composite graft, we reinforce tragal cartilage with temporalis fascia in large perforations. Aim: The purpose ...
