Overview

Prospective study shows superior graft uptake with cartilage in chronic otitis media, suggesting effective treatment option.

Key Points

  • To compare the outcomes of tympanoplasty using conchal cartilage versus temporalis fascia grafts in chronic otitis media.
  • Prospective comparative research on 60 subjects with chronic otitis media.
  • Subjects randomly allocated to two groups: conchal cartilage (n=30) and temporalis fascia (n=30).
  • Graft uptake and hearing improvement assessed postoperatively via pure tone audiometry at three months.
  • Graft uptake rate was higher in the cartilage group (93.3%) than in the fascia group (83.3%), statistically significant (P=0.041).
  • Hearing improvement was comparable between groups with no significant difference (P>0.05).
