Overview

Prospective observational study compares hearing outcomes and graft success in type I tympanoplasty patients with chronic otitis media.

Key Points

  • Both endoscopic and microscopic tympanoplasty improve hearing outcomes effectively, indicating both are viable treatments.
  • The mean preoperative air-bone gap improved significantly from 29.71 dB to 13.25 dB postoperatively (p < 0.001).
  • Graft uptake was 95.8% for endoscopic and 91.7% for microscopic tympanoplasty, showing no major differences between groups.
  • Endoscopic tympanoplasty offers comparable results with benefits of minimal invasiveness and better cosmetic outcomes.
