Abstrakt: | Objective: The aim of this study was to present, myringoplasty case results in our department. Different factors were studied to confirm their prognostic value. Materials and Methods: A total of 126 myringoplasties from 2006 until 2010 were reviewed, collecting patient-related details, descriptions of the anatomical defect and the most interesting surgical aspects. Results: Subtotal perforations (35.7%) were the most frequently observed. In 89.7% of the operations, the transcanal approach was preferred. The medial technique (underlay) to the tympanic membrane was the most performed (97.6%). Cartilage was the principal graft used (82.5%). Complete closure of the perforation was obtained in 71.1% of the cases at 6 months follow-up. Recurrences of the perforations were of minimal size in 11.9% of the cases, partial in 11.1% and with a cartilage fragment gap in 4.8%. The mean time in which these defects were registered was 3.82 months. The mean post-operative auditory gain was 12.8 decibels at 6 months. Conclusions: Myringoplasty is an appropriate technique for restoring tympanic integrity and obtaining functional benefit. Dried middle ear mucosa and posterior perforations seem to be related with better functional results. (Copyright © 2010 Elsevier España, S.L. All rights reserved.) |
