Abstract
This study compares the results of Tympanoplasty in terms of graft uptake and hearing improvement in patients with Chronic Otitis Media which are divided on the basis of discharging ear and non discharging ear with perforation at the time of surgery. Total 110 patients were selected suffering from chronic otitis media. Out which 55 patients had discharging ear (wet ear) and 55 patients had non discharging ear (dry ear). Tympanoplasty was performed using temporalis fascia graft. Hearing improvement and graft uptake was seen in both wet and dry ears. No statistically difference is noted in the results between the two. Mucoid ear discharge at the time of surgery is not a contraindication for Tympanoplasty as it has no adverse effects on the outcomes of the surgery in respect to graft uptake and hearing improvement.
