Dr. Puneet Maheshwari, Dr. Baidya Nath Majhi

Abstract :

Myringoplasty is the procedure of surgically closing a perforation in the eardrum. The objective of the study was to compare the two surgical modalities for Myringoplasty – Overlay and Underlay in cases of CSOM with inactive mucosal disease. This is a prospective study of 18 months duration ,data was collected from 80 patients admitted for Myringoplasty- 40 in each group. Results were calculated in terms of graft accepted or rejected and decrease in air bone gap. Graft rejection were observed in Overlay 7/40 and in Underlay 5/40. Post operatively after 16 weeks, mean air bone gap was more reduced in Underlay than Overlay Myringoplasty. Summary: The present study showed that underlay technique had a better graft take and he� improvement in large central perforation of Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media.
