Abstract

The aim of the study was to compare the graft take up rates of two minimally invasive techniques of Butterfly cartilage graft (BCG) and fat graft myringoplasty (FGM).

Twogroupsof 28 patients each with small dry central perforations of the tympanic membrane (T.M.) were randomlysubjected to either of the two techniques of myringoplasty.

The twogroups werecompared using the Chisquare test. A value of <0.05 was taken as statistically significant.

The graft take up rate was 92.8% with BCG and 82.14 with fat graft.

The BCG scores over FGMin small perforations of the T.M.
