Objectives: To compare the results of tympanoplasty alone and tympanoplasty with cortical mastoidectomy in chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) patients with sclerotic bone in terms of graft uptake, perforation closure, improvement in hearing and disease eradication. Study Design: Retrospective study of patients at tertiary referral hospital. Method: 50 cases of non-cholesteatomatous chronic...

OBJECTIVE Candidates for revision tympanoplasty have experienced at least one failed attempt at repair of the tympanic membrane and are, therefore, at higher risk for subsequent repair failure. The adjunctive use of mastoidectomy with tympanoplasty in those patients with noncholesteatomatous chronic otitis media is often used to decrease the risk for subsequent failure. However, at this institu...

A combined tympanoplasty method, the mobile-bridge tympanoplasty, has been applied at the Clinic for Ear, Nose and Throat Diseases in Novi Sad since 1998. Mobile-bridge tympanoplasty is performed at our Clinic by applying Feldmann's procedure utilizing a microsurgical oscillating saw. It is a combination of closed and open techniques for surgical treatment of middle ear diseases. In addition to...

BACKGROUND Tympanoplasty is a common procedure performed by Otolaryngologists. Many types of autologous grafts have been used with variations of techniques with varying results.

OBJECTIVE A systematic review to compare the effectiveness of the use of cartilage (with or without perichondrium) with temporalis fascia used in tympanoplasty. DATA SOURCE The following databases were searched for relevant studies: MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, the Cochrane Library including the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Google scholar, and the PubMed.
