Objective:
This study was undertaken to evaluate the surgical outcome of type 1 tympanoplasty in selected
cases of children with tympanic membrane perforation and assess factors influencing their outcome.
Subjects &Methods:
The study includes a total of 82 children of age group 7 to 14 years who underwent type
1 tympanoplasty in Aswan University hospital during January 2014 to August 2016 after approval from Aswan
Faculty of Medicine Ethics Committee. The patients were divided into two groups, group I of 30 cases aged
from 7 to 10 years and group II of 52 cases aged from 11 to 14. Patients with cholestatoma, ossicular chain pa-
thology, previous tympanic surgery or Eustachian tube pathology were excluded from the study.
Results:
In their study the overall success rate was 66 cases out of total of 82 cases (80%). The success rate was
higher in group I (83.3%) than in group II (78.8%) but the difference was not statistically significant. In terms of
prognostic factors, they observed a statistically significant association between the presence of a discharging
ear and a poor outcome (P<0.001), also there was significant association between duration of discharge and
poor results (P<0.01).
Conclusions:
The age of the patients, size and site of perforation, prior adenoidectomy or adenotonsillectomy,
do not significantly influence the post-operative outcome. Although tympanoplasty is less successful in bilat-
eral perforation, but this is not of significant value.
