Abstract :

 Background: Chronic otitis media (COM) is a long standing infection of a part or whole of middle ear cleft. Goals in treating COM is to achieve a safe ear, eradicate disease, stabilize or improve heå by reconstructing the tympanic memane and ossicular chain, and to prevent further development of disease is considered while performing surgery for a tympanic memane perforation. The objectives of the study include: determining the graft uptake rates in the patients with chronic perforation of the tympanic memane with and without active discharge.Material and methods: This study was carried out in the Dept of ENT , GMERS Medical College & Hospital. It comprises of 100 patients with Chronic otitis media with central perforation with 50 patients each in dry and wet ear group over a period of 2 years from Jan 2014 to Dec 2015. All the patients were examined carefully after admission.Results: Out of 100 cases , 50 cases had dry ear and 50 cases had wet ear. In 48 cases (96%) out of 50 dry ear, perforation healed and 2 (4%) case failed to heal. Whereas, in wet ear, perforation healed in 46 cases (92%) out of 50 cases .Conclusion: We might conclude that if an appropriate surgical technique is taken, and an efficient postoperative education is provided, then satisfying results can be achieved from operations on wet ears (just like dry ears).[9] However, in order to be sure we need to carry out more studies with larger samples and in multiple centers where there are more variables to consider.
