Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Objectives:There is the difference in hearing improvement when allografts and autografts are used in ossiculoplasty, so this study was done to evaluate and compare the outcome of these two methods in CSOMpatients. Methods: This study was conducted on 20 patients of chronic suppurative otitis media visiting ENT OPD atPBM Hospital, Bikaner. Different types of grafts used for Ossiculoplasty and the patients were divided into two equal groups A (Autograft in ICW) and C (PORP in ICW) of 10 each. Postoperatively patients were followed up for hearing improvement at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks.Results:After 6 weeks post operative follow-up ACimproved by 29.89 % in Group A and by 49.53 % in Group C. After 12 weeks and 24 weeks post operative follow-up, AC improved by 34.02 % in Group A and by 57.01 % in Group C. After 6 weeks post operative follow-up ABG improved by 38.89 % in Group Aand by 63.89% in Group C. After 12 weeks and 24 weeks post operative follow-up ABG improved by 43.05 % in Group A and by69.44 % in Group C.Conclusion: The improvement in hearing following surgery was significant in all groups of patients 24 weeks after surgery. In our study (n=10 in each group) the groups with allograft had a obvious improved hearing outcome as compared to the groups with the autograft but it was not found to be statistically significant.
