ABSTRACT

Background and Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate efficacy and safety of inlay myringoplasty using “cartilage butterfly technique” for repair of eardrum perforation. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study. Ten patients, who presented with small to medium sized perforation of tympanic membrane at an ENT hospital from April 2011 to December 2011, were studied. Inlay myringoplasty was performed with tragal cartilage using “cartilage butterfly technique”. Closure rate of perforation, hearing recovery and complications were investigated. Results: No displacement of graft was observed. Over 1 year follow-up, closure rate was 90% (9/10). All patients showed hearing recovery without siginificant complications. Conclusions: Inlay myringoplasty using “cartilage butterfly technique” could be considered as a safe and effective technique for repair of small to medium sized perforation.
