 Methods: This is a retrospective study of 50 patients that underwent paper patch myringoplasty in an outpatient setting.
 Results: The long-term success rate of paper patch grafting for TM perforation was 78.00% in this study
 Conclusion: Paper patch grafting can also be considered before formal surgical myringoplasty in the case of small, dry, chronic TM perforations.
