A prospective study of 40 patients with dry central perforation with conductive hearing loss at Post-graduate Department of Otorhino laryngology and Head & Neck Surgery Govt. Medical College, Srinagar.
Otoendoscopic myringoplasty was performed in 40 patients aged 11to 50 yrs using temporalis fascia graft. A zero degree 4mm otoendoscope was used.
