Compare the hyaluronic acid to fat graft myringoplasty (HAFGM) technique to a recently described modified-FGM (M-FGM) in the repair of tympanic membrane perforation (TMP)

Hyaluronic acid fat graft myringoplasty vs fat patch fat graft myringoplasty.

Article specifications

This clinical study was published in 2015 in Journal of Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol. (IF 2015:1.32) by Canadian specialists. The aim of this study was to compare the hyaluronic acid to fat graft myringoplasty (HAFGM) technique to a recently described modified-FGM (M-FGM) in the repair of tympanic membrane perforation (TMP). We also aim to evaluate the hearing level improvement postoperatively.

 

Results

The pure tone audiometry was improved postoperatively in the HAFGM only. The study was aborted because of the unsatisfactory obtained results using the MFGM. It also shows the beneficial effect of hyaluronic acid application to FGM for a successful TMP repair.
