A PROSPECTIVE STUDY OF COLLAGEN TYMPANOPLASTY IN CHRONIC SUPPURATIVE OTITIS MEDIA

Chronic Suppurative Otitis media is the most common disease seen in daily ENT OPD basis. There are different types of methods to close the perforation of the tympanic membrane. Normally we were using older surgical method for the closure of the tympanic membrane. Recently there are different method of tympanoplasty used one such type becoming trending is collagen tympanoplasty. Collagen membrane is used to close the tympanic perforation. It is semi permeable barrier assisted electrophoretic deposition. In this study we have taken 50 patients of which 32 males and 18 females. After otoscopic examination and preop and postop audiometry assessment done. Then the patients underwent collagen tympanoplasty. After the procedure done patients were subjected to hearing test after 1 month and otoscopic examination. The patients had improved hearing and perforations were sealed. This type of procedure are scar less and minimally invasive.
