Abstract
Myringoplasty is a surgical technique used to
restore the integrity of tympanic membrane and to improve hearing level. This procedure has undergone significant refinements over a period of time and now become an established procedure with rewarding results.
The objectives of myringoplasty are to make the ear dry and trouble free, to improve hearing, and to enable proper hearing aid usage.
Despite the high success rate and, the routine nature of myringoplasty, the effect of many influencing factors remains unresolved. These include the age of the patient, site of perforation; size of perforation,length of time the ear has been dry prior to surgery,the presence of infection at time of surgery.
Our study is in a form of Database to provide
actual data of myringoplasty at otolaryngology
department, faculty of medicine, Ain Shams
University.
Database is a set of information that is structured
primarily to allow calculations and analysis to be
undertaken.
This was done by the following steps:
1- Determination of the target subject.
2- Data collection.
3- Data management and analysis.
4- Reporting and interpretation.
5- Discussion and conclusions.
6- References.
The data entry of 30 patients who underwent
myringoplasty was introduced.
Appropriate analytical methods were applied.
We have reached through the results of this research to: -
The success rate of myringoplasty as an
operation is 70%.
Myringoplasty proved it’s highly significance in
obtaining postoperative dry ear and hearing
improvement.
The analytical data management showed nonsignificant statistical values regarding the relation between the final outcome and the age of the patients,site and size of TM perforation, and the type of graft used.
There is a great controversy regarding the role of
different influencing factors on myringoplasty;
although myringoplasty is a common operation but there are no enough detailed studies/database studies.
This study gives rise to the need of future efforts
concentrating on developing well-designed database studies, in order to provide more statistically valuable results about the effect of different factors on such operation.
