(2) To compare the rate of postoperative retraction of neotympanum in both.MethodsA prospective study was conducted on 70 patients of ages ranging from 11 to 50 years with dry subtotal perforation. 35 underwent island cartilage tympanoplasty and 35 underwent type 1 tympanoplasty using temporalis fascia graft. Graft acceptance rates and post-operative audiograms were compared.ResultsAt one year follow up, the graft take-up rate for temporalis fascia and island cartilage graft were found to be 82.9% and 97.1% respectively, which was found to be statistically significant (p0.05). In the temporalis fascia group, two out of 35 patients (5.7%) had retraction of the neo tympanum. There was no incidence of retraction using island cartilage graft. There was no significant difference in the postoperative air-bone gap gain between temporalis fascia graft and island cartilage graft.ConclusionIsland cartilage tympanoplasty shows a high degree of reliability in high risk cases. It has a higher graft take-up rate with no incidence of retraction of neotympanum. Moreover, it provided significant hearing improvement in our patients.
