Abstract
The aim of the work: Improving the healing rate in
tympanoplasty type 1.
Objectives: To Evaluate the efficacy of esterified
hyaluronic acid in the closure of central tympanic membrane perforation when
added to a temporalis fascia and to compare its success rate in term of healing
and hearing, with the of the superficial temporalis fascia grafts when used
alone in the closure of central tympanic membrane perforations.
Material and methods: A prospective non-randomized
controlled trial at ENT department, Al-Zahraa University Hospital (Tertiary Care
University Hospital) between Oct. 2013 and Oct. 2015. Adult patients presented
with small central TMP were operated under general anesthesia. The healed drum
was considered when the complete closure was achieved. The patients were
assessed by pure tone audiometry and tympanogram pre and postoperatively.
Results: Twenty-two patients classified into group A (hyaluronic
acid temporalis fascia graft myringoplasty) and group B (temporalis fascia
graft myringoplasty) (11 patients in each group) were included in the study.
Healing occurred in 81.82% in group A, vs 72.73% in group B (p=0.61).
Conclusion: The esterified hyaluronic acid that can be used
to improve healing of tympanic membrane perforation. There is a statistically
significant difference in the results of tympanic membrane healing and air-bone
conduction gap; pre & post-operatively after using esterified hyaluronic
acid.
