Audiological Results of Endaural Tympanoplasty Underlay Technique Using Tragal Perichondrial Graft
Disabling hearing loss remains a global burden. According to the World Health Organization, 360 million people around the world have disabling hearing loss. Some 328 million of these are adults. Of the 328 million, 56% are males and 44% are females. The prevalence of disabling hearing loss is highest in South Asia, Asia Pacific, and Sub-Saharan Africa. In the Philippines, an estimated 40% of the population suffers from some degree of hearing loss.
One of the common causes of hearing loss is chronic otitis media. Studies show that the global burden of illness from chronic otitis media affects from 65 million to 330 million people worldwide. Ninety percent of the burden of chronic ear infection is borne by countries in Southeast Asia, Western Pacific, and African regions.
Otitis media is a preventable and treatable disease, effectively managed through medical and surgical approaches. Surgical intervention is indicated for patients with complications, cholesteatoma, and those who fail to respond to adequate medical treatment.
Tympanoplasty is a surgery performed to restore middle ear function by eradicating the middle ear pathology, reestablishing a tympanic membrane, and securing a durable connection between the tympanic membrane and the inner ear. This endaural approach can be used with all perforations; however, it requires mastery of the skill by the surgeon. This study aims to compare the preoperative and postoperative audiogram of patients who underwent a particular technique in Tympanoplasty.
- to present the outcome of patients who underwent end aural tympanoplasty using tragal perichondrial graft
- To identify the rate of closure of perforation among patients who underwent tympanoplasty type 1 endaural approach underlay technique using tragal perichondrial graft.
- To identify hearing improvement in patients post tympanoplasty by comparison of the air-bone gap before and after surgery
