Abstract :

Myringoplasty is the operation performed to close the tympanic memane defects using graft materials. The aim of this procedure is successful closure of perforation and also to improve the heå. This study is prospective and the aim is to compare the results of myringoplasty using temporalis fascia and tragal perichondrium .

Results of study include

A total of 60 (30 in each group) patients were included in this study. All the patients were presented dry central perforation with significant deafness. Out of 60 cases, 30 underwent myringoplasty with temporalis fascia, 30underwent with tragal perichondrium.

26 (86.7%) patients out of 30 had successful closure with temporalis fascia and 25 (83.3%) patients had success with tragal perichondrium.

Considering the heå improvement, the mean post op A–B gap was 16.9 db compared to mean pre op A–B gap 32.93 db with temporalis fascia and the mean post op A–B gap was 18.26 db compared to mean pre op A–B gap db with tragal perichondrium.
