Conditions
Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media
Registration Number
NCT06505252
Lead Sponsor
Assiut University
Brief Summary

This study aimed to compare the effect of adding HA versus PRP to endoscopic FGM in cases of small or medium-sized central TM perforation in the form of:

1. Evaluation of the graft uptake rate.

2. Evaluation and comparing audiological outcomes.

3. Finding out intraoperative and postoperative morbidity.

Detailed Description

Tympanic membrane (TM) perforations result in recurrent middle ear infection and hearing loss. Both these hazards can be prevented by the reconstructive surgery of the tympanic membrane.

Fat graft myringoplasty (FGM) has been reported as a suitable procedure to close long-standing TM perforations FGM is an efficient, safe and potentially fast method for TM perforation repairing with a success rate varies from 79% to 91%..Many researches was done to use supporting material in myringoplasty Saliba et al used hyaluronic acid fat graft myringoplasty \[HAFGM\] and results in a higher success rate than using FGM alone. El-Anwar et al proved that Topical autologous platelet-rich plasma(PRP) application during myringolpasty is safe, efficient and enhances healing of TM perforation PRP includes many autologous growth factors that have significant functions like cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis. Fibrin and fibronectin are essential proteins in PRP that provide the structural support needed for the cell migration, cell proliferation, and 3-dimensional growth of tissues.

HA has been shown to play a role in cellular signaling, leukocyte growth and migration, Cell adhesion and biological remodeling and is mainly involved in tissue healing with a central role in modulating inflammatory responses also, Its absorption of water causes expansion in volume and formation of a viscoelastic gel which constitutes a favorable scaffold for tissue regeneration and remodeling .
