The over-under myringoplasty technique shows a high success rate for repairing tympanic membrane perforations. This method results in excellent graft take and significant hearing improvement with minimal complications.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Audiology

Background:

  • Chronic tubotympanic suppurative otitis media frequently causes dry central tympanic membrane perforations.
  • Myringoplasty is a surgical procedure to repair tympanic membrane perforations.
  • The over-under technique is a specific method for myringoplasty.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of the over-under myringoplasty technique.
  • To determine the graft take rate, complication incidence, and hearing improvement after this procedure.

Main Methods:

  • A quasi-experimental study was conducted.
  • 68 patients with dry central tympanic membrane perforations were enrolled.
  • The over-under myringoplasty technique was employed for repair.

Main Results:

  • A high graft take rate of 97% was observed at six months.
  • Significant hearing improvement occurred in 98.5% of patients, with an average air-bone gap reduction of 12.65 dB.
  • Complications such as delayed perforation (3%) and atelectasis (1.5%) were infrequent; lateralization did not occur.

Conclusions:

  • The over-under myringoplasty technique is highly effective for tympanic membrane perforation repair.
  • The procedure is associated with a high graft success rate and considerable hearing gain.
  • It offers a safe and effective surgical option with a low complication profile.
