SURGICAL AND AUDIOLOGICAL RESULTS OF TYMPANOPLASTY IN THE ELDERLY: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY

Introduction: This study aims to share our tympanoplasty experiences in the geriatric population to determine the functional advantages of this procedure in this patient group. Material and Methods: This retrospective chart review included ten patients (>65 years of age) who underwent tympanoplasty. Tragal perichondrium was used as the grafting material in all patients. Hearing status was assessed using pure tone audiometry before and after the procedure, and graft success rate and functional outcomes of the procedure were analyzed. Results: The median age of the patients was 68 (range, 65–74) years. The graft was intact in all but one patient (graft success rate:90%). Pre and postoperative hearing thresholds were71.5±19.7and 59.2±22.8 dB and gap between air and bone conduction thresholds were 28.6±9.4 and 15.3±10.1 dB, respectively, indicating statistical significance (p

YAŞLILARDA TİMPANOPLASTİNİN CERRAHİ VE ODYOLOJİK SONUÇLARI: RETROSPEKTİF BİR ÇALIŞMA

Giriş: Bu çalışmada, geriatric populasyonda uygulanan timpanoplastinin fonksiyonel avantajlarını belirlemeyi ve bu konudaki deneyimlerimizi paylaşmayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu retrospektif çalışmaya timpanoplasti uygulanan 65 yaş ve üzeri on hasta dahil edilmiştir. Tüm hastalarda greft materyali olarak targal perikondriyum kullanılmıştır. Ameliyat öncesi ve sonrasında işitmenin değerlendirilmesinde saf ses odyometri kullanılmış olup, ayrıca greft başarısı ve cerrahinin fonksiyonel sonuçları da analiz edilmiştir.Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 68 (65-74) yıl idi. Biri (n:1) hariç tüm hastalarda postoperative greft intakttı (greft başarı oranı %90,9). Ameliyat öncesi /sonrası saf ses işitme eşikleri 71.5±19.7 ve 59.2±22.8 dB; hava/kemik yolu açıklığı 28.6±9.4 ve 15.3±10.1 dB olarak saptandı ve bu değerleri statistiksel olarak anlamlı idi (p
