ABSTRACT
Objective: To determine the efficacy and safety of platelet rich plasma (PRP) as an
adjuvant for tympanoplasty for perforations of the tympanic membrane with butterfly
cartilage graft vs tympanoplasty with cartilage graft only.
Materials and Methods: A randomized, controlled, clinical trial, including patients
with tympanic membrane perforation, divided into two groups. Group 1 underwent
endomeatal tympanoplasty with butterfly cartilage graft without PRP and group 2 underwent
same tympanoplasty technique and PRP was added. The size of the tympanic
perforation was assessed preoperatively, and the follow up included persistence for 8
weeks postoperatively in both groups.
Results: The index of healing of the tympanic membrane was higher with the tympanoplasty
that used the PRP compared to the control group, with statistical significance
(p = 0.026) at the end of the follow-up (8 weeks). The patients in the experimental
group had an evolution period (chronicity) of 18-24 months since their diagnosis, with
significant statistical difference (p = 0.039).
Conclusions: The healing of the tympanic membrane is superior with the use of
PRP as adjuvant in endomeatal tympanoplasty with butterfly cartilage graft despite the
time of chronicity; during the follow-up, no patient in the study presented with adverse
effects derived from the procedure or to the application of PRP.
