Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the result of type-Itympanoplasy in geriatric age group (age > 60 years) in terms of closure of perforation and hearing improvement. Study Design: It’s a prospective study done between July 2015 to December 2016 at Burdwan Medical College and Hospital, Burdwan. Materials and Method:40 new cases with mucosal type of Chronic OtitisMedia (COM) are included in this study.Type-I tympanoplasty done for all cases. At 6 months post operatively patients are examined for graft uptake status and hearing improvement. Result:among 40 patients 26 were male and rest 14 were female, mean age of our sample is 63.65 with SD10.39. Patients mostly complain about discharge from the affected ear(90%) and hearing loss(83%). The pre and post-operative pure tone mean are calculated at 0.5kHz, 1kHz, 2kHz and 3kHz frequency respectively. Hearing gain is measured as the difference of mean of pre and post-operative pure tone averages. Hearing gain is significant with p value <0.05 in all frequencies measured. Conclusion: Type-I Tympanoplasty operation is very successful operation in geriatric patients with COM in achieving an intact tympanic membrane and better hearing.
