Abstract
A retrospective review of the outcomes of patients who underwent endoscopic myringoplasties in our institution was conducted. The aim was to highlight our results with this procedure. The database of patient records was manually checked, and the patients who had undergone Endoscopic Myringoplasties were identified, and their demographics, admitting notes, operating notes, and discharge summaries were reviewed. Graft failure was considered if the patient had a perforation in the graft during the outpatient follow-up. The information was compiled, and basic statistics were derived. A total of 31 patients were identified who had undergone Endoscopic Myringoplasty. Patients' age ranged from 14-52 years. None of the patients developed any immediate postoperative complications. Follow-up otoscopic examination showed 28 patients with an intact graft and only one patient with graft failure. Two patients were lost to follow up. Our success rate with Endoscopic Myringoplasty is 96.6%, which is comparable to the international standard success rate of 80-95%. The results of this study encourage adopting an endoscopic approach where the expertise is available.
