In this series of patients, the underlay or overlay positioning of a graft achieves successful outcome for both repair of perforation and hearing function, with better hearing gain in the underlay group. In myringoplasty, the two most common techniques for positioning the graft relative to the remnant of both the tympanic membrane and the annulus are the "overlay" and the "underlay" techniques....

The indications for myringoplasty in children has always been a controversial subject since many authors feel the high frequency of the phlogistic auricular processes in children constitute an unfavorable prognostic factor to success of the procedure. The authors present the results obtained in 23 patients under 17 years of age who had undergone myringoplasty for simple perforation of the tympa...

PURPOSE This prospective study evaluated the effects of continuous sedation using midazolam, with or without remifentanil, on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients undergoing myringoplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty patients undergoing myringoplasty were sedated with midazolam in the presence of remifentanil (group MR), or after saline injection instead of remifentanil (group...

Objective: To compare the outcome of myringoplasty in dry and wet ears suffering from Chronic suppurative otitis media with central perforation. Study design: Prospective study. Setting: Department of E.N.T, Burdwan Medical College & Hospital. Methods :100 patients with Chronic suppurative otitis media with central perforation ( 50 dry and 50 wet perforations) undergone myringoplasty by underla...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate how fibrinogen-based collagen fleece (Tachocomb®) graft myringoplasty (FCGM), performed under microscopic guidance, improves both hearing and tympanic membrane tissue repair in patients with traumatic tympanic membrane perforation (TMP). SUBJECTS AND METHODS Between August 2009 and March 2015, a total of 52 patients with traum...

INTRODUCTION Transcanal myringoplasty has the advantages of demanding lower operative time and minimal external incisions. It can be performed using the microscopic or endoscopic approach. In the last decade, the use of endoscopes in ear surgery has increased significantly. This technique may allow "around the corner" visualization of small recesses, through narrow spaces, without the aid of ca...

MATERIALS and METHODS: A total of 94 patients having chronic suppurative otitis media (inactive stage) with central drum perforation and a myringosclerotic patch in the same ear were included in the study. They were divided into four groups according to the site of the myringosclerotic patch, and each group was randomly divided into two subgroups: subgroup A, where myringoplasty was done after ...
