Endoscopic Type I Tympanoplasty In Medium Sized Tympanic Membrane Perforation: Our Experience In Tertiary Care Center
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Type I Tympanoplasty or Myringoplasty is commonly done under microscopy. But when performing transcanal myringoplasty under a microscope, the total circumference of the perforation can be difficult to confirm in patients where the external ear canal is narrow and/or protruded. This article discusses the experience of the authors in performing myringoplasty using endoscope. Material and Method: Transcanal endoscopic myringoplasty was performed on 35 ears in 21 patients with chronic otitis media and rest having dry central perforation. Results: Endoscopic views revealed the entire tympanic membrane in a single field with clear visualization of the perforation edges even when the ear canal was curved. This clear visualization facilitated reliable refreshing of the perforation edges and grafting. Conclusion: Transcanal endoscopic myringoplasty does not require surgical exposure such as a retroauricular skin incision to get an anterior view. Our results demonstrated that transcanal endoscopic myringoplasty can be performed, regardless of the perforation size and the narrowness and/or protrusion of external ear canal.
