Abstract
Introduction: Paediatric tympanoplasty is regarded by many as being less successful than in adults due to higher incidence of otitis media. In our study, we are trying to determine the pre-operative conditions that influence the success of paediatric tympanoplasty and construct a prognostic index for the same.
Aims and Objectives: To determine which pre-operative conditions or surgical technique may influence the success of pediatric tympanoplasty and to construct a prognostic index for the same.
Materials and Methods: 40 children between 8-15 years were included in this prospective study between June 2018- August 2019 in Department of ENT, in our institution. Pure Tone Audiograms were recorded pre and post operatively.
Results: The positive outcomes measured were integrity of tympanic membrane, minimum of 10 decibel gain in auditory threshold and air filled space in middle ear. Higher success rate was observed in cases with elder age group (12-15 years), shorter duration of ear discharge, longer period of dry ear and small size of perforation.
Conclusion: Tympanoplasty in children is a current and controversial theme. We have made a novice attempt to define factors that predict success or failure in paediatric tympanoplasty.
Keywords: Ear discharge, Pediatric tympanoplasty, Perforation.
