ABSTRACT

Background: Tympanoplasty, also called eardrum repair, refers to surgery performed to reconstruct a perforated tympanic membrane (eardrum) or the small bones of the middle ear. Eardrum perforation may result from chronic infection or, less commonly, from trauma to the eardrum.
Objective: The Objective of the study is to evaluate the surgical outcomes of tympanoplasties with and without mastoidectomies in terms of graft uptake and hearing improvement.

Methods: A total of 56 patients undergoing tympanoplasties with and without mastoidectomy were included and followed up for a period of one year.

Results: There was no significant difference in the surgical outcomes of both the surgeries in terms of graft uptake and hearing improvement. In unilateral cases Belfast rule of thumb application enables the actual hearing benefit of the patient.

Conclusion: There is no difference in related to outcome The addition of cortical mastoidectomy to tympanoplasty did not improve the outcome of surgeries done for mucosal type of chronic suppurative otitis media.

Key words: Cortical Mastoidectomy, Tympanoplasty, Belfast Rule.
