ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to compare the efficacy of the endoscopic modified cartilage over-underlay technique with and without packing for repairing chronic tympanic membrane (TM) perforations.

METHODS: A total of 70 cases of chronic TM perforation were randomly allocated to endoscopic modified cartilage over-underlay myringoplasty groups with (n = 35) and without (n = 35) packing. The graft success rate and hearing outcomes were compared between the two groups. In addition, neovascularization scores were subjectively obtained.

RESULTS: At 12 months postoperatively, the difference in graft success rate between the packing and no-packing groups was not significant (94.3% vs. 100.0%, P = 0.473). In addition, there were no significant differences between the two groups in the pre- or postoperative air-bone gap (A BG) (15.18 ± 2.73 vs. 15.07 ± 4.02, P = 0.623 and 8.63 ± 3.03 vs. 8.52 ± 4.50, P = 0.591) or mean ABG gain (6.56 ± 3.23 vs. 6.54 ± 2.83, P = 0.751). However, the average operating times were 43.6 ± 7.1 and 32.7 ± 2.1 min in the packing and no-packing groups, respectively (P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS: Surgical and hearing outcomes were comparable between patients with chronic TM perforation treated using the endoscopic modified over-underlay technique with and without packing. However, without packing, the procedure was less invasive and had a shorter operating time.
