Abstract
-
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Fat myringoplasty has been used for closure of small tympanic membrane perforations. It is fast, safe and efficient method on ambulatory basis. The performance of this study is to investigate the results of fat myringoplasty in graft failure patient after conventional tympanoplasty with temporalis muscle fascia.
METHOD:Fat myringoplasty were performed on 21 ears in 18 patients.
RESULTS
We found that in 21 ear success rate was 71% (15/21), but in patient basis success rate was 83% (15/18).
CONCLUSIONS
We believe that due to significant operational advantage, fat myringoplasty can be suggested for reparing perforation in graft failure patient.
