Abstract
Introduction: Fat tympanoplasty is repair of small dry tympanic membrane perforations using fat as graft material. It is a simple office procedure with minimal morbidity and manipulation of the middle ear.
Materials and methods: The present study was a prospective review of 60 patients who underwent fat tympanoplasty over the period of 15 months. In all the patients fat was harvested from ear lobule.
Results: Patients were kept on follow up for 3 months and evaluated for graft uptake and hearing gain. 86.66% closure rate of tympanic membrane defect was achieved. Postoperative air conduction was 29.6 ± 5.3 while air bone gap was 13.2 ± 6.1.
Conclusion: The study concludes that fat plug myringoplasty is a simple, quick, less invasive method to repair small tympanic membrane defects.
