Abstract

To analyse the rate of success of dry versus wet temporalis fascia graft in type 1 tympanoplasty. A prospective, randomised study was conducted. One hundred adult patients (males and females) with chronic suppurative otitis media (mucosal type) were divided into 2 groups of 50 each: one group underwent dry temporalis fascia graft tympanoplasty and the other underwent wet temporalis fascia graft tympanoplasty. The dry graft and wet graft groups had overall surgical success rates of 82 and 90%, respectively; this finding was not statistically significant. A dry or wet temporalis fascia graft does not influence the outcome of type I tympanoplasty.
