Background and Objectives : Fat myringoplasty has been used for closure of small tympanic membrane
perforations. It is fast, safe and efficient method on ambulatory basis. The performance of this study is to
investigate the results of fat myringoplasty in graft failure patient after conventional tympanoplasty with
temporalis muscle fascia.
Method : Fat myringoplasty were performed on 21 ears in 18 patients.
Results : We found that in 21 ear success rate was 71% (15/21), but in patient basis success rate was
83% (15/18).
Conclusions : We believe that due to significant operational advantage, far myringoplasty can be
suggested for reparing perforation in graft failure patient.
