Objective: The present study evaluated the results of the graft success rate and hearing gain of children who underwent endoscopic inlay butterfly myringoplasty due to chronic otitis media.
Methods: The study included 32 pediatric patients aged between 8 and 17, who had endoscopic inlay butterfly myringoplasty with the diagnosis of chronic otitis media between September 2012 and January 2015 in Elazig Training and Research Hospital Otorhinolaryngology Clinic and Firat University Otorhinolaryngology Clinic. All patients' demographics, perforation size, and hearing status were examined.
Results: Tympanic membrane perforation was ≤3mm in 12 patients and between 3 and 6mm in 20 patients. The air-bone gap (ABG) of the patients was 18.5±6.29dB preoperatively, 8.81±3.53dB postoperatively second month, 8.09±3.55dB postoperatively sixth month, and 7.96±3.32dB postoperatively 12th month. Two (6.3%) of the patients had postoperative myringitis. Two (6.3%) patients had recurrent perforation in the postoperative follow-ups.
Conclusion: In children, endoscopic inlay butterfly tympanoplasty is a surgical technique with short duration, high graft success, effective hearing reconstruction, and high levels of postoperative patient comfort.

Unlabelled: Since 1952, myringoplasty has evolved with various surgical techniques, including overlay, underlay, sandwich, pegging, rosette, and plugging. Overlay and underlay methods are most commonly used. In 1998, Eavey introduced the cartilage and perichondrium butterfly inlay myringoplasty, designed for small to medium-sized perforation closure, offering practical advantages such as reduced surgical time and improved hearing outcomes.

Objective: To compare graft outcomes and postoperative complications between the extended perichondrium-cartilage butterfly inlay (PCBI) technique and the perichondrium-cartilage over-underlay (PCOU) technique for repairing subtotal perforations over a 2-year follow-up period.
Methods And Materials: Patients with subtotal perforations were prospectively randomized to either the extended PCBI (n = 52) or PCOU (n = 51) group. Evaluation metrics included operation time, graft success rate, hearing gain, and complications at 24 months postoperatively.

The aim of this study was to show clinical outcome in 56 patients with tympanic membrane perforation operated on by total endoscopic transcanal myringoplasty. Out of the total of 74 patients operated on exclusively endoscopically, we identified 56 patients in whom tympanoplasty type I (myringoplasty) was performed. In 43 patients (45 ears), myringoplasty was performed in a standard transcanal fashion with lifting of the tympanomeatal flap, and in 13 patient butterfly myringoplasty was performed.

The objective of this study was to assess the graft and functional outcomes of inlay butterfly cartilage-perichondrium graft myringoplasty in an office setting. Adult patients with chronic perforations underwent inlay butterfly cartilage-perichondrium graft myringoplasty under local and topical anesthesia. The graft and functional outcomes, intraoperative pain score, and complications were evaluated at 6 months postoperatively.
