Brief Summary  

  

 This prospective randomized case-control study was performed to compare the surgical outcomes of tympanoplasty with or without gel foam packing in the middle ear in patients with chronic otitis media (COM), according to the surgical procedure.

 Following preoperative evaluation, the patients are taken up for Type 1 tympanoplasty by postaural approach. Packing of the middle ear is performed based on the group to which the patient belongs.

·         Group A: packing of middle ear done with Gel foam.

·         Group B: middle ear not packed.with gel foam

The patient’s ear is then monitored at regular intervals for signs of graft failure and infections. Assesment with Pure tone audiometry and Impedence is performed at 12 weeks post surgery. .These datas will be   compiled and will be used for publications.
