Abstract
Introduction: Chronic otitis media is classified as a tubotympanic disease and is characterized by central perforation. Eustachian tube is the principal focus in middle ear disease. Pathological findings in the nose or the nasopharynx are also responsible for inadequate tubal function. Objective:To evaluate the outcomes of septoplasty followed by myringoplasty and myringoplasty without septoplasty in patients with tubotympanic diseases in terms of Graft uptake, audiological outcome and late complications. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted from January 2012 - January 2014 in the E.N.T department of Gandhi Hospital, Secunderabad.A total of 70 patients who were suffering from tubotympanic diseases were treated with myringoplasty for the treatment of chronic suppurative Otitis Media. The patients were randomly divided in two groups of 35 each and were either treated with myringoplasty alone or septoplasty followed by myringoplasty after 6 weeks. Results: In present study the graft take up was 83.8% in septoplasty preceding myringoplasty and 79.4% in myringoplasty group.Among the patients who underwent myringoplasty only, 88.2 % had a gain of 15 db and 90% had a gain of 15 db in septoplasty followed by myringoplasty group.
