Abstract :

Medical science is an ever evolving field as advent of newer technologies and better technique continues .Chronic suppurative otitis media is a very common middle ear disorder where patient presents with middle ear discharge and heå loss of varying degree. Myringoplasty or type 1 t–plasty is a very common middle ear surgery performed for CSOM at mostly all centres across the country. Our study compares results and benefits of endoscopic permeatal myringoplasty with that of microscopic postaural myringoplasty. In total 40 patients were randomly divided into two groups of 20 each. In the first group endoscope was used for myringoplasty while in second group microscope was used to perform myringoplasty. The graft material in both the cases was temporalis fascia. The preoperative and postoperative audiogram ,graft uptake and average time taken was compared in both the cases.

In our study success rate was almost equal in both the techniques. In terms of morbidity and post operative recovery endoscopic myringoplasty gave better results.
