[The results of myringoplasty using underlay technique].
BACKGROUND
The method of tympanic membrane repairing is called myringoplasty.


OBJECTIVE
We analysed the reasons of failure of this procedure.


METHODS
The structural results were observed among 36 patients under restricted criteria with diagnosed chronic otitis media. The unsuccessful procedure was one with reperforation. We studied Eustachian tube function and also localisation and size of the perforation.


RESULTS
The failure rate was 25%, which was mainly observed among individuals with incorrect Eustachian tube function - 70% and margin perforations - 50%. The localisation and the size of the perforation did not matter.


CONCLUSIONS
The main reasons of myringoplasty failure were incorrect Eustachian tube function and margin perforations of tympanic membrane.
