The timing of myringoplasty and factors affecting the results of surgery were investigated in 50 children (4-15 years old) who underwent myringoplasty for the repair of simple perforation of the tympanic membrane.
1. Average success rate of surgery in all age groups was 90%. It was 92.3% in preschool children (4-6 years old) and almost that in the other age groups. Surgery in preschool children can be recommended.
2. The rate of failure was higher for discharging ears or bilateral myringoplasty.
