Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the outcomes of bilateral same-day endoscopic myringoplasty using tragal cartilage from one ear in patients with bilateral chronic otitis media. In this retrospective study, medical records of 62 (84 ears) patients aged between 18 and 65 years who underwent endoscopic myringoplasty at our center between January 2015 and December 2017 were evaluated. Patients were classified into 2 groups according to surgical procedure they received: unilateral myringoplasty (group 1) and bilateral same-day myringoplasty (group 2). The comparisons were made between groups in terms of anatomical graft success and functional outcomes. There were 40 patients in the unilateral group (group 1) and 22 patients in the bilateral same-day group (group 2). The graft success rates were 92.5% and 93.2% for groups 1 and 2, respectively ( P = .904). The mean preoperative air–bone gaps (ABGs) were 21.1 ± 7.1 and 20.5 ± 6.7 dB, respectively, whereas the mean postoperative ABGs were 8.1 ± 2.7 dB and 7.9 ± 3.0 dB, respectively. The difference between pre- and postoperative ABGs for the entire group was statistically significant ( P < .001). Mean hearing gain was 12.5 ± 11.0 dB and 15.6 ± 10.1 dB in groups 1 and 2, respectively, ( P = .183). Postoperative ABG was ≤10 dB in 33 (82.5%) and 36 (81.8%) ears in groups 1 and 2, respectively. The functional success rates were similar in both groups ( P = .582). The average lengths of operation time were 61.6 ± 12.5 minutes and 110.1 ± 25.2 minutes for groups 1 and 2, respectively. Bilateral same-day endoscopic myringoplasty using tragal cartilage from one ear seems to be a safe and satisfactory procedure with a good satisfactory success rate.
