Abstract

INTRODUCTION
Myringoplasty is surgical procedure to restore tympanic membrane perforation. The objective of the study is to compare overall success rate of myringoplasty after 6 weeks and 6 months post-operatively.

MATERIAL AND METHODS
This is a retrospective, comparative study carried out in the Department of ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) and Head and Neck Surgery (ENT-HNS), Universal College of Medical Sciences-Teaching Hospital (UCMS-TH), Bhairahawa, Rupandehi, Nepal. All the data was collected from the operative notes and operative record book of our hospital which were done from October 2018 to September 2020 over a period of 24 months by single surgeon. A total of 77 patients with age range of 12-70 years including all gender with chronic otitis media (COM) mucosal type, inactive who underwent myringoplasty were studied. Graft uptake results were assessed after 6 weeks and 6 months following surgery.

RESULTS
The age of the patients ranged from 12-70 years. The mean ± standard deviation (S.D) of age was  27.84 ± 13.16 years. There were 47 (61%) female patients and 30 (39%) male patients involved in the study. Graft uptake success rates were 84.4% (65) and 83.1% (64)   after 6 weeks and 6 months respectively.

CONCLUSION
No statistical significance was noted in graft success and failure rates between 6 weeks and 6 months (p = 0.320).
