Background: The objective of the study was to hear the results in patients with atticoantral-chronic otitis media who undergone canal wall down mastoidectomy with different types of tympanoplasty.
Methods: 86 cases of CSOM-AA were included. Patients were divided in 3 groups according to intra-operative ossicular chain status and reconstruction. Group A were patients having intact stapes superstructure and the graft kept over the stapes head covering middle ear and mastoid cavity. Group B patients were with intact superstructure of stapes and graft kept over cartilage graft kept on mobile stapes head. Group C patients were with absent superstructure of stapes with intact, mobile footplate and graft kept over autologous or homologous cartilage kept on footplate of stapes. On 10th week and 24th week after surgery, PTA was carried out to compare pre and post-operative hearing status. The study was conducted at SMIMER Hospital, Surat (a tertiary health care hospital) fromSeptember 2016 to September 2017.
Results: In 86 patients, average mean preoperative AC threshold was 48.16 (±15.15) dB, mean pre-operative BC was 8.96 (±7.85) dB and mean pre-operative air bone gap was 40.11 (±12.92) dB. The mean post-operative AC threshold was 43.17 (±13.72) dB, mean post-operative BC was 11.34 (±9.44) dB and postoperative air bone gap was 32.06 (±11.62) dB. The mean air bone gap closure was 8.76 (±11.86). This hearing gain was statistically highly significant (p<0.001). Among 86 patients, cartilage was used in total 60 patients. Mean ABG was 8.6 dB, 11.05 dB and 8.43 dB respectively for tragal, conchal and homologous septal cartilage.
Conclusions: Hearing improvement can be achieved with appropriate reconstruction in CWD mastoidectomy.
