Abstract

Background: Butterfly cartilage tympanoplasty is a feasible, safe and effective technique. Objectives: toevaluate the outcomes of butterfly cartilage tympanoplasty for small and medium size perforations. Materials and method: From February 2021 to July 2023, 33 patients underwent butterfly cartilage tympanoplasty at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. Results: Throughout 6-month follow-up period, successful closure occurred in 30 of 33 patients and success rate was 90.0%, the mean air conduction was 27.38 ± 12.31 dB compared to 37.23 ± 14.36 dB preoperatively. Preoperative mean ABG was 18.03 ± 6.52 dB whereas 8.44 ± 5.48 dB 6 months after surgery. Conclusion: Butterfly cartilage tympanoplasty can be effective echnique for small and medium size perforations. Moreover, it is advantageous to both surgeons and patients
