Abstract
Chronic otitis media (COM), is a common condition in otorhinolaryngology, is characterized by chronic, intermittent or persistent discharge through a perforated tympanic membrane(TM). Poor living conditions, overcrowding, poor hygiene and nutrition have been suggested as the basis for the widespread prevalence of COM in developing countries. 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 type1 tympanoplasty and cortical mastoidectomy at Department of otorhinolaryngology. Among 21 patients with bilateral disease, graft uptake was seen in 76.2% and failure was noted in 5 patients, 23.8%. Out 37 patients with unilateral disease, uptake was seen in 94.9% and failure was noted in 2 patients, 5%. But it was not statistically significant. After 6 months, hearing gain of > 10db was recorded in 37 patients, 18 (69%) in dry ear and 19 (70%) in wet ear. Hearing gain of less than 10db was seen in 16 patients, 8 (30.8%) in dry ear and 8 (29.6%) in wet ear.
