Our Experience of Comparison of Hearing Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Type-1 Tympanoplasty with Different Graft Materials.

The present study was undertaken to compare the results of various autogenous tissues: temporalis fascia, sliced tragal cartilage and fascia lata as graft materials for type I tympanoplasty in terms of hearing improvement in safe type of chronic suppurative otitis media. A total of 75 cases with central perforation were considered in the study. Of the 75 cases, temporalis fascia graft was used in 25 cases (Group-A), fascia lata graft in 25 cases (Group-B), and sliced tragal cartilage graft in 25 cases (Group-C).
