Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Medicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is prevalent in developing countries due to poor awareness, low socioeconomic status, and respiratory infections.
  • CSOM significantly contributes to morbidity and socioeconomic disability, particularly in pediatric populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of myringoplasty in treating tympanic membrane perforations in children.
  • To assess graft success rates and audiological outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing myringoplasty.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 20 pediatric patients (32 ears) aged 5-12 years who underwent myringoplasty.
  • Postoperative follow-up ranged from 3 months to 1 year to assess graft take and hearing improvement.

Main Results:

  • Successful graft take was observed in 60% of patients aged 5-8 years and 72.7% in those aged 9-12 years.
  • Postoperative air conduction improved by up to 10 dB in all ears with successful grafts.

Conclusions:

  • Myringoplasty is an effective surgical intervention for tympanic membrane perforations in pediatric patients.
  • Repairing tympanic membrane perforations in children can significantly reduce hearing loss, morbidity, and associated socioeconomic burdens.
