Objectives: Observational study on pediatric myringoplasty to examine the success rate in young and older children.
Patients And Intervention: Fifty-one first-time primary myringoplasties were analyzed on children aged 4 to 13 years.
Main Outcome Measures: Using life-table analysis, the survival course of the graft in young children (aged 4-8 yr) was compared with those in older children (aged 9-13 yr). The effect of age on various outcome parameters, including otitis media with effusion/atelectasis, discharge, and hearing, was analyzed using the 12-month data.
Results: The 3-year graft take rate was 83.8% (95% confidence interval: 70.2, 97.5%). At 12 months, only 63.0% (42.4, 80.6%) were free of otitis media with effusion/atelectasis and discharge and preserved their hearing. There is no evidence of a difference in outcome in young and older children.
Conclusion: There was no evidence that age influenced surgical outcome in pediatric myringoplasty. Although the graft take rate was more than 80%, true success was only found in two thirds of cases.

Myringoplasty is a common otologic procedure to restore the integrity of the tympanic membrane in cases of traumatic or pathologic perforations. Many grafting materials have been used with different techniques. In the present work, we evaluate the surgical and audiological outcomes of periosteal graft overlying the mastoid cortex through a retroauricular incision in a pediatric cohort.
