High impact information on Myringoplasty

Propofol anaesthesia and vomiting after myringoplasty in children [1].
Normal manometric results with patency of the tube (as proved by fluorescein-endoscopy) indicated good tubal function, with good prognosis for myringoplasty [2].
Theta myringoplasty [3].
OBJECTIVE: Bilateral same day surgery has been performed rarely because of the risk of postoperative sensorineural hearing loss following conventional myringoplasty or tympanoplasty (CMT) [4].
A study of myringoplasty with temporal fascia homograft employing fibronectin was conducted in 14 ears in which the same myringoplasty procedure without fibronectin (1-5 times) had failed to afford closure of tympanic membrane perforation [5].

Anatomical context of Myringoplasty

Since good ventilation of the middle ear is a prerequisite to successful myringoplasty, it was our policy to study the tubal function in dry central perforation of the drum and to correlate the manometric with the endoscopic findings [2].
Butyl 2-cyanoacrylate was placed on the oval and round window of the ear of the chinchilla and was also used as an adhesive for myringoplasty with autogenous muscle fascia [6].
Repair of tympanic membrane perforations using hyaluronic acid: an alternative to myringoplasty [7].
A comparison has been made of air conduction thresholds after myringoplasty and stapes surgery for otosclerosis in both the conventional (0.25 to 8 kHz) and high frequency (8 to 20 kHz) ranges [8].

Associations of Myringoplasty with chemical compounds

Eleven patients underwent fat graft myringoplasty, using EMLA cream local anaesthetic, as day cases [9].

Gene context of Myringoplasty

Effectiveness of fibronectin in myringoplasty using temporal fascia [5].
Some authors have described poor postoperative hearing results and sensorineural hearing loss associated with the surgery, and question the indication for myringoplasty on an ear with normal hearing (< 25 dB) [10].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Myringoplasty

These results suggest that fibronectin is effective in myringoplasty using treated temporal fascia homograft [5].
