Background:

Tympanoplasty is a common surgical procedure in children to repair the tympanic membrane.
Understanding factors influencing surgical success is crucial for optimizing patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine if the age of pediatric patients influences the surgical success rate of tympanoplasty.
To compare outcomes between different pediatric age groups undergoing tympanoplasty.

Main Methods:

A study group of 52 children undergoing tympanoplasty was divided into two age subgroups: 8-11 years and 12-15 years.
Surgical success was defined as an intact tympanic membrane at 6 months post-operation.

Main Results:

Keywords:

The overall success rate for tympanoplasty in this pediatric cohort was 86.54%.

The success rate was higher in the 12-15 year age group (90.24%) compared to the 8-11 year age group (81.8%).

Conclusions:

Age appears to be a potential factor influencing tympanoplasty outcomes in children.
Slightly better surgical success rates were observed in older children (12-15 years) undergoing tympanoplasty.
