Abstract
Background: Chronic suppurative otitis media is a common condition seen in patients attending the otolaryngology clinic. The discharging ear presents the otologist with the dilemma of operating on it or not. This due to the widespread belief that the success rate while doing tympanoplasty on wet ears is decidedly inferior. To evaluate this fact we conducted a study to compare outcomes of type I tympanoplasty in dry and wet ears. Aim: To compare postoperative hearing improvement in dry and Wet ear. Material and Method: Type I tympanoplasty was done in all patients under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia using temporalis fascia graft and by underlay technique. Result and Conclusion: The presence of discharge in the ear at the time of operation does not interfere with the results of tympanoplasty, but the discharge should be should be mucoid and scanty.
