ABSTRACT
This is a comparative study done to evaluate outcome of type 1 Tympanoplasty with and without mastoidectomy in terms of hearing improvement and graft uptake. This is a prospective study done in 100 patients at a tertiary care referral centre during November 2018 to march 2020. Patients were divided in two groups, Group A consists of 50 patients in whom type 1 Tympanoplasty was done and in Group B 50 patients were there who had undergone Type 1 Tympanoplasty with cortical mastoidectomy. Patients were evaluated postoperatively at 2nd wk, 4th wk, 2nd month and 3rd month for graft uptake, disease clearance, and hearing improvement. PTA was done at 3rd month postoperatively. In our study we observed graft uptake in 94% of patients in Group A as compared to 98% of patients in Group B and in terms of hearing improvement there is not much difference in both the groups i.e. in Group A it is 13.996 ± 4.235 while in Group B it is 14.172 ± 5.381 P value is 1 which means there is no statistically significant difference in two groups. Though better results were observed for cortical mastoidectomy with Type 1 Tympanoplasty than Type 1 Tympanoplasty alone but the difference was insignificant.
