Response - NO
Brief Summary  

One of the complication associated with the conventional technique of tympanoplasty is a continuously discharging  tympanic membrane- an entity named red drum conundrum. Mucosalisation of the graft Post tympanoplasty, may lead to continuous or intermittent discharging ear despite an intact tympanic membrane. The postoperative ear drum is seen to be red, glistening , discharging and intact, which causes endless trouble to the patient. This would sometimes also require a revision surgery with excision of the mucous membrane.

 

In the underlay technique, the surgeon often would have to lay a large volume of remnant tympanic membrane lateral to the graft. Proliferation and survival of tympanic membrane that is left laterally to graft creates island of discharging mucous membrane. Another postulate for the discharging tympanic membrane being that; mucous membrane grows at faster rate during postoperative healing than the epithelium, so that tympanic membrane has mucosa over the lateral surface.

 

The novel method aims to correct deficiencies of the underlay technique, by excising the complete annulus of the remaining perforated tympanic membrane. The study aims to compare the graft uptake and improvement of hearing in patients undergoing conventional tympanoplasty and those undergoing total annulus excision.
