Abstract:Objective To evaluate the success of Endoscopic Type 1 Tympanoplasty in Pediatric Patients Using island cartilage and perichondrium, and to analyze prognostic factors and long-term efficacy. Methods Medical records of 64 children who underwent type 1 tympanoplasty for tympanic membrane perforation between March 2016 and September 2020 in otolaryngology head and neck surgery department of Beijing Children's Hospital were reviewed. Age, gender, whether combined with suppurative otitis media,perforation reason and location of perforation (anterior, posterior, inferior), eustachian tube function score, pre- and post-operative hearing levels, mean air-bone gap (ABG), surgical approach and length of follow up were recorded. SPSS22.0 software was used for statistical analysis of the data. Results The anatomic closure rate was 80.3% and the functional success rate was 86.36%.The closure rate of ≤10 years old children was 73.81%, lower than that of > 10 years old children 91.67%. The closure rate of children with otitis media was 74.47%, lower than that of children without otitis media. Conclusion Infectious factors are the main causes of perforation of eardrum in children and and are also associated with adverse outcomes. Type I tympanoplasty in children using island cartilage and perichondrium as repair material under otoscope has higher closure rate and functional success rate. The operation could improve the hearing level of children. Children younger than 10 years are less likely to close.
