This prospective audit of myringoplasty in 1070 patients found a mean graft take rate of 82.2%. While hearing improved in 67% of cases for hearing improvement, antibiotics did not significantly impact outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Audits

Background:

  • Myringoplasty is a common otologic surgical procedure.
  • Audits are essential for evaluating surgical practice and outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prospectively audit myringoplasty procedures performed by 73 surgeons.
  • To assess graft take rates, hearing improvement, and complication rates.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective audit of 1070 myringoplasty procedures.
  • Data collection on patient demographics, surgical indications, and outcomes up to 12 months.
  • Analysis of graft take, hearing improvement, and complication rates.

Main Results:

  • The mean myringoplasty rate per consultant was 14.7 per year.

  • The primary indication was to achieve an intact tympanic membrane.
  • Mean graft take rate was 82.2%; hearing improved in 67% when it was the primary indication.
  • Antibiotic use did not significantly influence graft take or complication rates.

    • Conclusions:

    • Myringoplasty demonstrates a high graft take rate and potential for hearing improvement.
    • Antibiotics do not appear to significantly affect outcomes in myringoplasty.
    • The audit provides valuable data on current myringoplasty practices.
