Myringoplasty outcome. Five-year experience at a tertiary teaching hospital
OBJECTIVES: To assess the outcome of a myringoplasty procedure during a 5-year period at a tertiary teaching hospital in Abha, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. METHODS: All patients with chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) who underwent elective myringoplasty between August 2012 and February 2018 were i...

description | OBJECTIVES: To assess the outcome of a myringoplasty procedure during a 5-year period at a tertiary teaching hospital in Abha, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. METHODS: All patients with chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) who underwent elective myringoplasty between August 2012 and February 2018 were included in the study. Patients were investigated preoperatively and postoperatively by pure tone audiometry (PTA). The patients’ demographic data were collected together with the surgical outcome. Postoperatively, patients were followed at the first week, at 6 weeks and then every 3 months, thereafter for one year. RESULTS: A total of 67 myringoplasty procedures were performed during the period of study. There were 41 females and 26 males, and they had an age range of 16-60 years and a mean age of 32.37±12.95 years. Preoperative PTA indicated that 58 (86.6%) patients had a hearing gap >20 dB. However, after surgery, only 9 (13.4%) patients remained with hearing gaps >20 dB. The success rate of graft stability at the end of one year was 94% with significant difference p=0.0001. However, one patient of the 4 patients with failed graft stability demonstrated graft atrophy, and the remaining 3 developed graft infection. CONCLUSION: Myringoplasty remains a useful technique for the management of CSOM. However, it depends on the surgeon’s skills and expertise and on the site of perforation. The success rate of myringoplasty in this study was comparable with that of the quoted literature. |
