Background And Objectives: Myringoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to repair tympanic membrane perforation which can be performed either using a microscope or an endoscope. The aim of this study is to compare the graft uptake, hearing outcome and operative time of endoscopic myringoplasty (EM) versus microscopic myringoplasty (MM) by underlay cartilage island graft technique.

Subjects And Methods: In this prospective comparative study of sixty patients divided into two equal groups with small to medium sized tympanic membrane perforation were included.
