Abstract :

Tympanic memane perforation is one of the most common problems in otorhinolaryngology. Many graft materials have been tried over time. In our prospective study, we have analysed the success rates, rate of healing and heå improvement following a fat plug myringoplasty in management of small tympanic memane perforations. According to our study, fat plug myringoplasty had higher success rates & rate of healing & complete closure at the end of 1 & 2 months follow up & a significant improvement in heå following the procedure. No complications have been encountered in the study & the patient compliance was comparatively better compared to surgery as it is less traumatic & time consuming.
