Dr Bhagavatula Annapurna Rao

Abstract :

 Objectives

1. Selection of patients of CSOM with conductive deafness to undergo various types of Tympanoplasty surgeries.
2. To document heå improvement after various types of Tympanoplasty surgeries in cases of CSOM by means of PTA.
Methods
A total of 50 cases of CSOM presented with heå loss were compiled after applying the inclusion and exclusion criterias. All the cases underwent
detailed otoscopic and audiometric examination. All the patients were treated surgically and were followed up after 3 months. Descriptive and
inferential statistical analysis has been carried out in this study.
Results
Compå the preop and 3 months postop PTA, significant AB gap closure was seen in 30(60%) patients, remained same in 18(36%) patients and
worsened in 2(4%) patients.
Maximum improvement (75%) was seen in pre op 21–30 dB group. The mean preop AB gap calculated was 37.2±6.875 dB and mean postop AB
gap calculated was 27.08±9.9 dB.
