Outcomes of Myringoplasty at Misrata Medical Center: A Retrospective Study
Keywords:
Myringoplasty, tympanic membrane perforation, graft uptake, surgical outcome, MisrataAbstract
Myringoplasty is a common surgical procedure to repair tympanic membrane perforations. This study evaluated the anatomical success rate and prognostic factors for myringoplasty performed at Misrata Medical Center. We retrospectively reviewed 40 patients underwent myringoplasty over a period of 18 months from 1/ 1/ 2023 to 30/ 6 /2024. Data on age, sex, perforation size, site, and outcomes were collected. Success was defined as an intact graft uptake and a dry ear at follow-up. The graft uptake success was 23 out of 25 central perforations with 2 failures. All posterior perforations were successfully repaired. In contrast, among anterior marginal only 1 was successful, while two cases resulted in failure. Myringoplasty at Misrata Medical Center demonstrates a high success rate (90%). Perforation site and size influenced the outcomes.
