OBJECTIVES: This study aims to investigate the effect of @entity406 treatment of temporalis muscle fascia grafts used during tympanoplasty on the postoperative success rates. @entity1 AND METHODS: Fifty-four @entity1 who underwent tympanoplasty between January 2006 and January 2007 in the Department of Otolaryngology, Medicine Faculty of Uluda   University and who were under regular follow-up were included in this prospectively planned study and divided into two groups: the study group (n=24) and the control group (n=30). @entity121 grafts were used in all @entity1 . The grafts were treated with @entity406 in the study group. All the controls of the @entity1 were performed by otomicroscopy. Audiometric tests were performed at the 6th month controls. RESULTS: It was found out that perforation was permanently repaired in 79.2% of the study group and in 73.3% of the control group (p>0.05). We obtained an evident improvement in the average airway bone gap in both groups. We could not detect any statistical significance in the comparison of the operation duration between the groups although the operation duration in the study group was shorter (the study group: 735 seconds, the control group: 775 seconds). CONCLUSION: The @entity406 treatment of the temporalis muscle fascial graft used in tympanoplasty was not superior in closing perforation and operation length compared to its direct dry use. However, we concluded that the graft could be more easily manipulated during the operation.
