Clinical outcome after tympanoplasty with use of autologus platelet rich plasma in cases of tympanic membrane perforation: a one year observational study

Abstract

Background:In cases of Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM), the conductive deafness which is most commonly caused is due to the tympanic membrane perforations. Surgical treatment option which is tympanoplasty serves as a better option for the reconstruction and repair of these perforated tympanic membrane and improvement of hearing. For the better healing of these surgically repaired tympanic membranes, biotechnologicalmethods such as gelfoam impregnatedwith platelet rich plasma (PRP) placed over the graft materials gives a better result in formation of neotympanum.
