Objectives: To evaluate endoscopic push-through technique cartilage myringoplasty results.
Methods: This prospective study was performed on patients with anterior tympanic membrane perforations and endoscopic push-through technique cartilage myringoplasty was performed between 2011 and 2013. The patients who did not have any cholesteatoma or otorrhea in the previous 3 months, and had an air bone gap ≤25 dB in their preoperative audiograms were included in the study. They were followed up with endoscopic examination and audiograms at 2nd, 6th, 12th, and 24th postoperative months. Pure tone averages were calculated at 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 kHz frequencies.
Results: Of 32 patients, 19 were females and 13 were males. The mean age was 40.3 years (range, 16 to 62 years), and the mean follow-up period was 12.4 months (range, 6 to 24 months). Graft success rate was 87.5% in this study. Preoperative mean air conduction hearing threshold was 25.9 dB, and the mean air-bone gap was 11.9 dB while these values improved to 19.5 dB and 5.3 dB respectively in the postoperative period. The mean hearing gain was 6.4 dB. The analysis of preoperative and postoperative mean air conduction thresholds and air bone gap values of the patients revealed statistically significant differences.
Conclusion: Underlay cartilage myringoplasty with endoscopic push-through technique in anterior quadrant tympanic membrane perforations is an effective, minimally invasive and feasible method.

Plasma Radiofrequency Tuboplasty and Cartilage Underlay Myringoplasty for Repairing Chronic Large Perforation with Eustachian Tube Dysfunction.
J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
October 2024
Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to compare endoscopic cartilage myringoplasty (ECM) alone versus ECM with plasma radiofrequency tuboplasty (PRT) in treating chronic large perforations with Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) over a 24-month follow-up period.
- - Results showed significant improvement in Eustachian tube scores and ETDQ-7 scores in the ECM + PRT group compared to ECM alone, although the graft success rate was similar in both groups (96.8% vs. 86.7%).
- - While ECM + PRT provided better long-term improvements in symptoms and some hearing metrics, differences were not statistically significant, and no serious side effects related to the procedures were reported.
The Impact of Middle Ear Packing Material Containing Antibiotic Ointment on Postoperative Infection After Myringoplasty.
J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
October 2024
Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.
Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the postoperative infection and graft success rates, and the hearing improvement, after endoscopic cartilage underlay myringoplasty with versus without antibiotic ointment coating.
Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective case-control study. The clinical records of patients who underwent endoscopic cartilage underlay myringoplasty and who met the selection criteria were retrieved and divided based on middle ear packing status into groups with antibiotic ointment packing (AOP group) and with no antibiotic ointment packing (no-AOP group).

Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Hangzhou Linping District Qiaosi Street Community Health Service Center, Hangzhou City, China.
Article Synopsis
- Study evaluated an endoscopic cartilage slice reinforcement technique for repairing anterior perforations in the ear canal, focusing on 38 cases from 2017 to 2023.
- Results showed a high graft success rate of 94.7% after 6 months, with significant improvement in hearing measured by the air-bone gap.
- Only minor complications occurred, with myringitis reported in 10.5% of patients, indicating the technique is effective and safe for this type of repair.
