OUTCOMES OF DOUBLE DOOR TECHNIQUE IN TYMPANOPLASTY: A CASE SERIES

The double door approach in tympanoplasty is a safe, successful, and adaptable way to repair the tympanic membrane. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a new double-door approach in tympanoplasty, addressing issues like optimal graft stability and improved functional results. The double-door technique aims to solve limitations of current surgical techniques and improve tympanic membrane repair results. A prospective case series of 13 patients underwent the procedure at Shyam Shah Medical College associated with Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Rewa (M.P) for a duration of 12 months, demonstrating high graft uptake rates, hearing improvement, and minimal surgical complications. The study concludes that this novel method improves structural integrity, reduces recurrence rates, and improves functional outcomes.
