[Extrameatal myringoplasty in the treatment of tympanic membrane perforations].
The clinical analysis of the patients after tympanic membrane reconstruction with the temporal muscle fascia has been conducted. The total number of 145 patients, operated at the Otosurgery Department Medical University of Lodz, was divided into 2 Groups. Group 1 (n = 75) patients with chronic otitis media (central perforation and mobile ossicular chain). The preoperative mean conductive hearing deficit of 20 dB was observed in all evaluated patients. After surgery a satisfactory hearing improvement was observed in 90% of the patients. Group 2 (n = 70) patients with the reconstructed postero-superior part of the tympanic membrance and if necessary external auditory canal wall reconstruction. The mean conductive hearing deficit of up to 30 dB was observed before the surgery. Postoperatively in 75% of patients the hearing improvement was observed as well as the satisfactory healing of fascia implant. The postoperative evaluation indicates a better hearing improvement after the myringoplasties with the prefascial lamina than in the myringoplasties performed in the traditional ways.
