Objective: The aim of this study was to present our results of endoscopic-guided myringoplasty using adipose graft tissue. Due to its simplicity and reliability, this technique seems be as efficient as other classical graft techniques (fascia temporalis, perichondrium...).
Patients And Methods: We analyzed data from 81 patients operated on for a tympanic perforation between 1993 and 2002 using an endoscopic-guided technique with adipose graft. Patients were evaluated postoperatively at seven days, one month and three months. Criteria of success were complete closure of the tympanic membrane, absence of lateralization of the tympanic membrane and no audiometric impairment.
Results: Treatment was successful in 920f patients with at least two years follow-up. The failures occurred in patients with contraindications such as myringosclerosis, myringitis and perforation size greater than 500f the tympanic surface.
Conclusion: Endoscopic-guided myringoplasty using an adipose tissue graft is a rapid, safe, reliable and efficient procedure that should be performed in first intention for selected indications.

Background: We compared and analyzed the surgical results of fat myringoplasty between elderly and young adult patients with chronic otitis media. We also investigated whether underlying diseases and other factors impact the surgical outcome.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of 141 patients who underwent fat myringoplasty for chronic otitis media for five years.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of adding platelet-rich plasma (PRP) during FGM to close medium-sized TM perforations.
Methods: This prospective randomized case-control study was conducted from February 2017 to March 2022. We included 320 patients with a medium-sized TM perforation with inactive mucosal otitis media.

We evaluated the closure rate after fat-graft myringoplasty (FGM) of perforations differing in size and location. We explored whether patient's factors and the FGM surgical technique influenced surgical outcomes. We retrospectively studied patients with tympanic membrane perforations who underwent FGM from March 2015 to March 2019.

Introduction: Myringoplasties are common pediatric procedures used to surgically close a perforated tympanic membrane. While a wide variety of graft materials are available to surgeons, the cost effectiveness of these different techniques is not well studied.
Objectives: To compare the cost effectiveness of the fat graft myringoplasty (FGM) with the hyaluronic acid fat graft myringoplasty (HAFGM).
