Abstract

Aim: We aimed to compare the early and long-term anatomic and functional results of temporalis muscle fascia (TMF) and conchal cartilage (CC) grafts in myringoplasty operations for the repair of subtotal tympanic membrane perforations.

Materials and Methods: A total of 110 myringoplasty patients who were operated between April 2016 and April 2018 were included in the study. Age, gender, graft material (TMF/CC), preoperative and postoperative hearing levels, graft success and functional success (air-bone gap <10 dB) were recorded for each patient.

Results: There was no significant difference between the TMF (93.5%) and CC (93.8%) groups in terms of early graft success. (p = 0.966). There was no significant difference between the TMF (85.5%) and CC (91.7%) groups in terms of long-term graft success. (p = 0.319). There was no significant difference between TMF (87.1%) and CC (85.4%) groups in terms of early functional success. (p = 0.799). There was no significant difference between the TMF (82.3%) and CC (83.3%) groups in terms of long-term functional success. (p = 0.882).

Conclusion: The results of our study showed that TMF and CC grafts had similar success rates in the early period. Concha cartilage can be preferred in primary myrin-goplasties due to the high rate of late graft success and no negative effect on hearing.

Abstract

Amaç: Timpanik membran perforasyonlarının onarımı için uygulanan miringoplasti ameliyatlarında temporal kas fasyası (TKF) ve konkal kıkırdak (KK) greftlerinin erken ve geç dönem anatomik ve fonksiyonel sonuçları karşılaştırıldı.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya kliniğimizde Nisan 2016 - Nisan 2018 tarihleri arasında opere edilen toplam 110 miringoplasti hastası dahil edildi. Her hasta için yaş, cinsiyet, greft materyali (TKF/KK), preoperatif ve postoperatif işitme seviyeleri, greft başarısı ve fonksiyonel başarı (hava-kemik aralığı < 10 dB) kaydedildi .

Bulgular: Erken dönem greft başarısı açısından TFK (%93.5) ve KK (%93.8) grupları arasında anlamlı bir fark yoktu. (p= 0.966). Geç dönem greft başarısı açısından TFK (%85.5) ve KK (%91.7) grupları arasında anlamlı bir fark yoktu. (p= 0.319). Erken dönem fonksiyonel başarı açısından TFK (%87.1) ve KK (%85.4) grupları arasın-da anlamlı bir fark yoktu. (p= 0.799). Geç dönem fonksiyonel başarı açısından TFK (%82.3) ve KK (%83.3) grupları arasında anlamlı bir fark yoktu. (p= 0.882).

Sonuç: Çalışmamızın sonucu TKF ve KK greftlerinin erken dönemde benzer başarı oranlarına sahip olduğunu gösterdi. Konkal kartilaj, geç dönem greft başarı oranının yüksek olması ve işitme üzerinde olumsuz bir etkisi olmaması nedeniyle primer mir-ingoplastide güvenle tercih edilebilir.
