Abstract
Otitis media is defined as “an inflammation of the middle ear without reference to etiology or pathogenesis.” Chronic otitis media is a long standing infection of a part or whole of the middle ear cleft characterized by ear discharge and a permanent perforation of TM with hearing loss. A perforation becomes permanent when its edges are covered by squamous epithelium and it does not heal spontaneously. The study included 60 patients of age 16 years and above and of either sex, presenting with mucosal type of chronic suppurative otitis media, who underwent type 1 tympanoplasty and cortical mastoidectomy at Department of otorhinolaryngology. Out of 60 patients, 32 cases had large central perforation (53%) out of which 15 patients in dry ear (50%) and 17 patients in wet ear (56.7%). 11 cases had small central perforation (18%) out of which 7 patients in dry ear (23%) and 4 patients in wet ear (13%). 17 cases had subtotal perforation (28%) out of which 8 patients in dry ear (26.7%) and 9 patients in wet ear (30%).
