A Comparative Study of Temporalis Fascia versus Tragal Peri-chondrium as Graft in Repair of Tympanic Membrane Perforation

Comparative Study of Microscope Assisted Tympanoplasty and Endoscope Assisted Tympanoplasty

“…Postoperatively in 70% patients, air conduction gain was up to 21-30 dB in temporalis fascia group and 60% in tragal perichondrium group. [13] Our study had similar results: graft uptake was 85.0% in endoscopic tympanoplasty (ET) using tragal perichondrium (TP) and 82.9% in microscopic Tympanoplasty (MT) using Temporalis fascia (TF). This showed that the tragal perichondrium was an equally efficient graft material when compared to temporalis fascia.…”

A comparative study of post-operative outcomes in type 1 tympanoplasty using tragal chondroperichondrial shield graft and temporalis fascia graft

“…Tragal chondro perichondrium group achieved a success rate of 80% graft uptake and 75% hearing gain. 13 Dabholkar et al, in his study stated that the post-operative graft uptake rate with temporalis fascia was 84% and for tragal chondro perichondrium, it was 80%. Temporalis fascia achieved a satisfactory hearing improvement in 76% while tragal perichondrium achieved 75% hearing gain.…”

“…In the study by Hameed et al, the post-operative gain in air conduction threshold was up to 21-30 dB in 70% patients in temporalis fascia group and in 60% patients in tragal chondro perichondrium group. 10 Kshitij et al, observed that the mean hearing gain in air conduction threshold in the temporalis fascia group was 9.36 dB and it was 10.92 dB in the tragal chondro perichondrium group. 11 In our study, the hearing improvement improved with time, which is due to the gradual process of healing and post-operative stabilisation of the neo-tympanic membrane.…”
