“…Some of the important studies using TFG showed success rate of 80-99 % [9,10,19,20]. Similarly in the studies employing VG the results were 50-92 % [6,7,13,19,21]. In our study, the patients who had residual partial tympanic membrane perforations at third month of postoperative follow up were considered as failures.…”

“…Shea who first used VG advised not to use VG if the defect in the tympanic membrane is occupying more than 40 % of the tympanic membrane area [6]. It is difficult or impossible to bridge a large perforation by VG [12,13]. The failure rate was high while repairing large tympanic membrane perforations, using VG [12,13].…”

“…It is difficult or impossible to bridge a large perforation by VG [12,13]. The failure rate was high while repairing large tympanic membrane perforations, using VG [12,13]. It is obvious from the various studies that VG are suited for small or moderate size perforations [12,13].…”

“…The failure rate was high while repairing large tympanic membrane perforations, using VG [12,13]. It is obvious from the various studies that VG are suited for small or moderate size perforations [12,13]. High failure rate (6.5-20 %) has been reported with larger perforation irrespective of grafting material used [12,14].…”

To compare the surgical outcome of temporalis fascia graft (TFG) and vein graft (VG) in myringoplasty. This prospective study was carried out over 60 patients with inactive tubotympanic type of chronic suppurative otitis media, with small to moderate size central perforation in Jawaharlal Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education and Research, Puducherry from November 2009 to March 2011. Patients were equally randomized into two groups; TFG group and VG group according to the graft material used for myringoplasty. After routine investigations, X-ray mastoid and paranasal sinuses and pure tone audiometry, all cases were operated under local anesthesia using underlay technique. Patients were followed at 2 week, 1 and 3 month postoperatively. Graft uptake, audiological improvement, degree of hearing improvement, and complications were studied during follow up. In TFG group, graft uptake rate was 80 % and hearing improvement was present in 66.7 % whereas in VG group graft uptake rate was 83.3 % and hearing improvement was present in 70 %. No patient had deterioration in hearing, sensory neural hearing loss or any other complications postoperatively. Difference between the preoperative and postoperative air bone (AB) gap was considered as degree of hearing improvement. Postoperative AB gap was \10 dB in 60 % and 66.7 % of patients of TFG group and VG group respectively. The difference in graft uptake rate and hearing improvement between two groups was not statistically significant. Both TFG and VG are equally effective in terms of graft uptake and hearing improvement in myringoplasty.

“…Currently, the most favoured graft is autologous temporalis fascia. Other autologous graft materials that have been used include vein, 1,2 tragal perichondrium, 3,4 fat, 5 sclera, 6 dura mater 7–9 and periumbilical superficial fascia 10 . The loose areolar tissue overlying the temporalis facsia known as prefascia has also been used by some authors 11–13 …”

A retrospective study was performed on patients who underwent myringoplasty using an autologous subcutaneous soft tissue graft over a 5-year period. Details including age, site and size of perforation, grade of surgeon, surgical approach, postoperative dressings, overnight stay, complications and outcome were recorded and analysed. Fifty-two patients underwent myringoplasty using a subcutaneous soft tissue graft. Their ages ranged from 4 to 78 years (median = 36 years). The mean follow-up period was 19 months. Successful closure to give an intact tympanic membrane was obtained in 82.7% of patients. Thresholds improved on pure tone audiometry in 57.1% and deteriorated in only one patient. There was no case of dead ear as a result of surgery. Subcutaneous tissue graft has comparable outcomes with temporalis fascia graft with additional advantages of a smaller incision, minimum dissection and a lower risk of bleeding.
