SHORT TERM OUTCOME OF REVISION MYRINGOPLASTY

Abstract

Objectives: To observe the short term outcome of revision myringoplasty in terms of graft uptake and hearing result.

Materials and methods: Retrospective review was done of 60 patients from June 2013 to April 2017 who underwent revision myringoplasty for total graft failure and residual perforation following primary myringoplasty. Patients above 5 years of age and who underwent redo myringoplasty with temporalis fascia were included in the study. Cartilage tympanoplasty and ossiculoplasty as well as re-revision myringoplasty were excluded from the study. Surgical outcomes were measured in term of total graft uptake and hearing result after 3 months post-surgery.

Results: A total of 60 cases were included in the study. Graft uptake was seen in 54/60 (90%) cases and hearing improved in 50/60 (83%) cases.

Conclusion: Short term outcome of revision myringoplasty is good if it is done meticulously in selective inactive cases
