Abstract

Objectives: We aimed in this study to evaluate and present the long-term results of type 1 tympanoplasty patients who were operated on by using boomerang-shaped chondroperichondrial graft. Methods: The study was designed retrospectively. One hundred and thirty-eight patients who underwent primary type 1 tympanoplasty with tragal, boomerang-shaped chondroperichondrial graft between September 2010 and March 2014 were included. Patients invented to control examination between January 2021 and April 2021, and 62 patients complete control visits after invitation. Audiological results and otomicroscopic findings were recorded. The graft status, preoperative and postoperative air-bone gap (ABG) values and presence of retraction were identified and compared with preoperative findings. Results: The preoperative mean ABG value of the patients was 23.69 ± 1.03 dB. Control ABG was calculated as 10.6 ± 0.7 dB (p<0.0001). The audiological test performed after a mean of 68.5 + 14.2 (min: 60, max: 96) months after the surgery. The average follow-up period was found as 73.03 ± 12.4 (min: 60, max: 122) months. Perforation was detected in 6 (9.7 %) patients. Conclusion: Considering the long-term results, we think that this grafting technique of tympanoplasty has adequate and satisfactory results.
