Resumen Introducción: La timpanoplastía es el tratamiento de elección en la otitis media crónica simple. En Chile se han realizado diversos estudios para evaluar el éxito de la timpanoplastía. En nuestro centro evaluamos el resultado anatómico y funcional, correlacionando los resultados con la dem...
Abstract Introduction: Tympanoplasty is performed to close the tympanic membrane perforation and recover the hearing level of patients with non-suppurative chronic otitis media. Endoscopic tympanoplasty has recently been increasingly preferred by ear nose and throat surgeons to treat tympanic membrane p...
Abstract Introduction: Cartilage is the grafting material of choice for certain disorders of the middle ear. The indications for its routine use remain controversial due to the possible detrimental effect on post-operative hearing. Objective: The present study was carried out to report a personal exper...
Abstract Introduction The use of endoscope is rapidly increasing in otological and neuro- otological surgery in the last 2 decades. Middle ear surgeries, including tympanoplasty, have increasingly utilized endoscopes as an adjunct to or as a replacement for the operative microscope. Superior visualizat...
Abstract Introduction: Surgical repair of the tympanic membrane, termed a type one tympanoplasty is a tried and tested treatment modality. Overlay or underlay technique of tympanoplasty is common. Sandwich tympanoplasty is the combined overlay and underlay grafting of tympanic membrane. Objective: To d...

RESUMEN Introducción: La técnica endoscópica para la cirugía de oído ha presentado un gran avance en los últimos años, debido al avance de las ópticas de alta resolución e instrumental quirúrgico. El uso de endoscopio en timpanoplastías facilita la visualización de zonas de difícil acceso, ...
Abstract Introduction: In the last decade, there has been an increasing use of cartilage grafts in the primary repair of tympanic membrane perforations. The major advantages of cartilage are its stiffness and its very low metabolic requirements, which make it particularly suitable for difficult conditio...
Abstract Introduction: Same-day closure of bilateral tympanic membrane perforations is a quick and more comfortable procedure for the patients. However, conventional bilateral same-day tympanoplasty or myringoplasty has been rarely performed because of the theoretical risk of postoperative complications...
Abstract Introduction: Various graft materials have been used to close tympanic membrane perforations. In the literature, there are few studies in pediatric populations comparing different graft materials. To our knowledge, there is no reported study that measured the thickness of the tragal cartilage i...
