ABSTRACT
Introduction: The perforated eardrum is a solution of continuity of the membrane due to a circumscribed necrosis involving its three layers. Different materials for the closure and reconstruction of the tympanic membrane have been internationally used, but the cartilage is the material more reliability presented to avoid another perforation.Objective: To evaluate the use of auricular cartilage in tympanoplasty type I in the treatment of simple media chronic otitis in patients from Provincial Teaching Hospital "Dr. Antonio Luaces Iraola".
Method: A pre-experimental study was carried out from November 2010 to November 2012. It was worked with a total of 42 patients, age, sex, type of perforation, regional surgical treatment, anatomical result, auditory result and postoperative complications were reported. worked with a total of 42 patients, age, sex, type of drilling prior regional treatment surgical anatomic result, auditory outcome and appropriated postoperative complications.
Results: The most representative age group was 25-46 years old, there were no differences by gender. Anatomic success reached 95.2% and it was statistically significant hearing improvement in 42 patients. With minimal post-operative complications: trauma to the ear canal.
Conclusions: The results of the study were significantly encouraging and consistent with the literature reviewed.
