Summary
Eardrum perforation is one of the commonest problems seen in ENT departments. Perforations can occur due to injury (barotrauma), instrumentation or following acute otitis media. Various graft materials (paper-patch, fat, temporalis fascia or perichondrium) and various approaches have been used to close tympanic membrane defects and the success rates appears to be more or less similar for smaller perforations. Dursunet al(3) (2008) added that “There was no statistically significant difference among closure rates of the perforations in the paper-patch, fat, and perichondrium myringoplasty with regard to size and these three techniques were found to be feasible for tympanic membrane perforations smaller than. In this method we do not perform a skin incision behind the ear. The ear pack is removed after 1 week and antibiotic ear drops were applied for 3 days
