Abstract
PURPOSE: Several risk factors were studied in endoscopic type I. tympanoplasty, however, an easy-to-use risk stratification model is still missing.
METHODS: Retrospective chart review, focusing on individual risk factors and middle ear risk index (MERI). Patients who underwent endoscopic type I. tympanoplasty were included.
RESULTS: Closed tympanic cavity was succesfully created in 88.1% of the 42 cases, the overall 21,5 dB air-bone gap (ABG) was reduced by 9,8 dB. The average MERI score of the patients was 2.1 ± 1.5. 78.6% of the patients were categorised into the mild, while 21.4% into the moderate risk group. The perforation was considered small in 81.0% of the cases, while large in 19.0%. The size of the perforation and the preoperative ABG, but not the MERI status were the only single predictors of success. Using a risk stratification model that is based on the size of the perforation, the preoperative ABG and MERI status, patients could be referred into two distinct groups of risk: the majority expecting excellent outcomes with maximum one risk factor present, and patients with deteriorated rate of success when having two or three risk factors.
CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic type I. tympanoplasty with underlay perichondrium graft can be performed with good chance of success. However, if more than one risk factors are present, the chance of residual perforation becomes great. In addition to the established risk factors, our results point out that despite its strong correlation with perforation size, ABG may have a predictive role.
