Aim: This study aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of platelet‑rich plasma (PRP) as an adjuvant for tympanoplasty for perforations of the tympanic membrane with temporalis fascia versus tympanoplasty with temporalis fascia only. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 patients diagnosed with chronic suppurative otitis media tubotympanic type were divided into groups of 50 each. Patients in group one underwent tympanoplasty with PRP, while those in the second group underwent tympanoplasty without PRP. Pre‑ and postoperative graft status and pure‑tone audiometry were performed for all the patients, and the outcomes were compared. Results: Graft uptake in the case group was 90% and while in the control group was 84%. The result was better in cases that underwent tympanoplasty with PRP. The improvement in the A‑B gap was significantly more in the case group as compared to that of the control group. Conclusion: Temporalis fascia graft alone and along with PRP, both techniques has excellent results. The use of PRP along with temporalis fascia in cases of large central perforation gives an additional benefit in respect to healing time and audiological gain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
