Abstract

Tympanoplasty is a procedure done to repair tympanic membrane and middle ear sound conducting mechanism.
The purpose of this prospective study was to analyze the anatomical and audiologic results in more than 86 cartilage tympanoplasties. The inclusion criteria were simple perforation, tympanic retraction and cholesteatoma.
We noticed that the ossicular chain was pathologic in 45,3%, and the incus was the most fragile ossicle.
The cartilage graft was harvested from the concha in 82,6% of the cases and from the tragus in 17,4% of the cases. This cartilage was used to reconstruct the eardrum in all our patient.
Based on morphologic and functional criteria, the evaluation was done after at least one year of follow-up. Cartilage tympanoplasty achieves good anatomical and audiologic results, regarding the functional results, the group of the simples COM was the entity with de best scores.
