Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of ENT - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
The use of rigid endoscope in the management of dry central perforation of the drum represented a significant advance in middle ear surgery. The present study was undertaken to asses and evaluate the feasibility, advantages, disadvantages of endoscopic transcanal myringoplasty in tubotympanic type of chronic suppurative otitis media. Present study was conducted on 50 cases attending ENT opd having tubotympanic type of chronic suppurative otitis media with dry central perforation of small, moderate or large size. Majority cases are from the age group of 16 to 50 years. Postoperatively at the end of 6th month, graft acceptance was seen 84 % patients. All sizes of perforation were healed equally well within significant differences. Postoperative hearing improvement was seen 80% patients having air bone gap less than 20db, 76%patients having air bone gap less than 10 db. The endoscopic approach of transcanal myringoplasty is less invasive, time taken for surgery is less, duration of hospitalization is less and has excellent cosmetic result.
