ABSTRACT

Objective: To review surgical records of patients with diagnosis of non-cholesteatomatous simple chronic otitis media, who were submitted to tympanoplasty in the Otorhinolaryngology Service of the General Hospital of the State, Sonora, Mexico.
Material and method: A retrospective, transverse and descriptive study of 56 cases diagnosed with of non-cholesteatomatous simple chronic otitis media with tympanoplasty according to the classification of Wullstein Zollner, from June 2002 to June 2007. It was obtained information regarding age, sex, percentage of perforated eardrum, type of tympanoplasty practiced, laterality, graft integrated or re-perforated, or both, evaluated 12 months after surgery.
Results: The integration of the graft tympanum was 85.7% in this study, against 89-90% reported in the literature. The confidence interval found was -0.127 between the results of our study and what has been reported by other authors (α = 0.05).
Conclusions: With the low percentages obtained by previous studies reported in the literature in the integration of the graft in tympanoplasty surgery in patients with non-cholesteatomatous simple chronic otitis media, we concluded that 85.71% of the 56 patients of this study evolved with an integrated graft to 12 months, thus, it is considered that the surgical techniques used in the Otorhinolaryngology Service of the General Hospital of the State, in Sonora, have a good prognosis in relation to the surgical success (cure). This confirms that tympanoplasty surgery is a procedure that all residents must conduct during their training with good results, similar to the results obtained by appointed surgeons.
