Abstract
Objectives: To observe the surgical outcome of type 1 tympanoplasty in paediatric patients in the form of graft uptake and audiological improvement. Materials and methods: A prospective study was done in which 40 paediatric patients in age group 6-16 years, diagnosed of chronic otitis media, were taken up for tympanoplasty under general anaesthesia. Patients were followed in post operative period at 4, 6 and 12 weeks for assessment of graft status and audiological evaluation. Results: In this study, we found surgical success rate in the form of graft uptake in 80% of the cases and audiological improvement in 75% of the cases. Conclusion: Tympanoplasty is safe and effective in children with adequate graft uptake and audiological outcome.
