The results of myringoplasty using underlay technique
Journal Title: Otolaryngologia Polska - Year 2014, Vol 68, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: The method of tympanic membrane repairing is called myringoplasty. Aim of the study: We analysed the reasons of failure of this procedure. Material and methods: The structural results were observed among 36 patients under restricted criteria with diagnosed chronic otitis media. The unsuccessful procedure was one with reperforation. We studied Eustachian tube function and also localisation and size of the perforation. Results: The failure rate was 25%, which was mainly observed among individuals with incorrect Eustachian tube function – 70% and margin perforations – 50%. The localisation and the size of the perforation did not matter. Conclusions: The main reasons of myringoplasty failure were incorrect Eustachian tube function and margin perforations of tympanic membrane.
