Myringoplasty or type 1 tympanoplasty aims the restoration of the anatomic
integrity of the tympanic membrane; it's a very common surgery in otology. The
objective was to evaluate the anatomic and functional results of this surgery in
children using the retro-auricular approach. Sixty young patients with diagnosis
of simple tympanic perforation were evaluated; these patients underwent
myringoplasty by a retro-auricular approach (underlay technique) between November
2010 and May 2013. It's a retrospective evaluation of the anatomic and functional
results of theses myringoplasties. Mean age at surgery was 8, 5 years old,
cartilage was used as graft in our entire patient, closure of perforation was
successful in 48 cases (80%), and audiometric results showed functional
improvement in 27 (45%) patients, no significant change was noted in the
remaining patients. The results of myringoplasty in children seem worse than
those in adults. However, a large study with a long follow up is warranted in
order to come to definitive conclusions.
