Endoscopic transcanal myringoplasty with anterior tab flap underlay technique: An analysis of 35 cases.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The repair of the tympanic membrane can present a problem, especially in anterior perforation, because the anterior portion was not enough to inadequate contact between tympanic membrane remnant and graft. Various surgical techniques were recommended to achieve an acceptable graft success rate in anterior perforation. Endoscopic transcanal myringoplasty with anterior tab flap could provide the better stability of the graft.

Objective

The aim of this study was to report the minimally invasive technique for the anterior tympanic membrane perforation closure and investigate the graft success rate of this technique.

Patients and methods

We performed a prospective, randomized study of 35 patients who consulted the otorhinolaryngology department at the universi
