Abstract EN
The current study aims at observing effects of sacrificing the tensor tympani tendon when manubrium of malleus is foreshortened or retracted on graft uptake, hearing improvement, and occurrence of complications if any during type I tympanoplasty surgery for central perforations.
42 patients were included in group A where the tensor tendon was sectioned and 42 patients were included in group B where the tensor tympani tendon was retained and kept intact.
Graft uptake rates are very good in both groups but hearing improvement was found significantly better in group A than group B.
No unusual or undesired complications were seen in any of the cases.
Sectioning of tensor tympani tendon is safe and effective procedure in cases where manubrium is foreshortened.
