Abstract
Middle ear aeration is a predictive indicator of myringoplasty's successful outcome and tympanometric ear canal volume is a novel investigation that can estimate the volume of middle ear cleft and mastoid air cells. Our aim of this study is to determine the role of tympanometric ear canal volume on myringoplasty outcome in Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media Patients. Prospective analysis involving 50 patients of CSOM was performed on patients undergoing myringoplasty from April 2022 to December 2023. Smokers, Patients with squamosal COM, Bilateral COM, Otitis Externa, and Revision surgery were excluded from the study. The successful outcome of surgery was defined as no tympanic membrane perforation on postoperative follow-up. Analysis was carried out using SPSS. V. 25 and P-value less than 0.05 was considered significant. A total of 50 patients were included in the study with a mean age of 24.4 ± 8.965 and male predominance. Overall graft uptake was 64%. Graft uptake had no significant statistical correlation with age, gender, type, location, or size of perforation. However, there is a significant effect of tympanometric ear canal volume of pathological ear and interaural tympanometric ear canal volume difference on graft uptake with p-values of 0.023 and 0.033 respectively. Tympanometric ear canal volume can predict middle ear aeration and the higher the interaural tympanometric canal difference more are the chances of successful graft uptake.
