Nasal septal cartilage allograft for myringoplasty – Our observations
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of ENT - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim: The purpose of the study was to analyze the morphological and functional outcomes in a series of 54 patients for whom type 1 tympanoplasty or myringoplasty was done using alcohol preserved nasal septal cartilage allograft through permeatal route. Materials and Methods: The study was a prospective study of 54 patients between August 2015 and January 2017. Patients were operated under microscope through permeatal route. 70% ethyl alcohol preserved allogenic nasal septal cartilage with thickness of around 0.5 mm was used for grafting. At the end of 3 months final assessment of morphological outcome i.e. intact tympanic membrane [ TM ] and functional outcome i.e. reduction in airbone gap [ABG] was done. Results: At the end of 3 months 51 patients [94.44%] had intact tympanic membrane, 49 patients [90.74%] had airbone gap less than 20 dB. The operative time taken for taken for 37 patients [ 68.51% ] was 30 – 45 min. 38 patients [70.37%] had returned to normal activity in 3 – 5 days. Conclusion: Allogenic nasal septal cartilage can be safely and effectively used for myringoplasty with good morphological and audiological results with benefits of reduced operating time, morbidity and no scar
