    Myringoplasty, a common ear surgery, can be safely performed as a same-day procedure for both children and adults. This approach shows low complication rates and successful outcomes comparable to inpatient surgeries.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Outcomes
    • Day Surgery

    Background:

    • Myringoplasty is a surgical procedure to repair a perforated eardrum.
    • Traditionally performed as an inpatient procedure, its feasibility as a day-case has been investigated.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of myringoplasty as a day-case procedure.
    • To assess outcomes, complication rates, and overnight stay rates for day-case myringoplasty.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 143 myringoplasty procedures performed on 125 patients (4-74 years) in day-surgery units over five years.
    • Data collected included patient demographics, perforation details, surgical approach, graft material, and post-operative outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Success rate of 83.3% with improved audiometry in 69.2% of cases.
    • Low overnight stay (2.7%) and readmission rates (2.1%) for minor post-operative issues.
    • Patient age, surgeon grade, and graft material did not significantly impact outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Myringoplasty is a safe and effective day-case procedure for both pediatric and adult patients.
    • Day-case myringoplasty offers comparable success rates to inpatient procedures with reduced resource utilization.
