Objective: To compare the effectiveness of butterfly cartilage tympanoplasty (BCT) with that of conventional surgical approaches in the treatment of tympanic membrane perforations. Methods: A systematic search was performed by screening the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases up to October 31, 2020. Two coauthors independently identified studies in accordance with the selection criteria. Data were pooled and analyzed via Review Manager version 5.3 and Stata version 12.0 software. The postoperative outcomes were measured and expressed as odds ratios (ORs) and standardized mean differences (SMDs). Additionally, heterogeneity was assessed through the I2 statistic. Results: A total of 15 articles were eligible for final inclusion. The OR values for the graft uptake rate, compared to conventional tympanoplasty, were 1.12 (95%CI: 0.56-2.22, I2 = 52%, P = .75) and 1.22 (95%CI: 0.58-2.59, I2 = 0%, P = .60), and the OR compared to fat plug myringoplasty was 3.02 (95%CI: 1.04-8.77, I2 = 0%, P = .04). The qualitative analysis of the hearing results reflected significant postoperative auditory gains with no significant differences between the BCT and control groups, indicating satisfactory and similar postoperative hearing improvement. Moreover, the operation time was shortened (SMD = −2.19, 95%CI: −2.79 to −1.59, I2 = 82%, P < .05), and the postoperative pain was less with the BCT approach. Conclusion: Butterfly cartilage tympanoplasty has satisfactory efficacy in terms of anatomical and functional results in small to medium perforations. It reduces operation time and postoperative pain. However, the effectiveness on large perforation requires further assessment by well-designed studies.

Introduction In a series of day care office procedures, techniques like fat plug myringoplasty and Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) cauterization are becoming increasingly popular for managing small central perforations now-a-days[Office1] . These are minor, cost effective procedures and have success rates that match success rates of conventional tympanoplasty[Office2] . The aim of this prospective randomized controlled trial, was to compare the effectiveness of fat plug myringoplasty and chemical cauterization in the management of small centrally located perforations of the pars tensa. Materials and Methods The study was carried out over a period of 2 years on 62 patients selected from ENT OPD in our tertiary health care setup of central India. All the selected patients were grouped into two using a random allocation software EPi Info7.1.1.14. Group A included those who underwent fat plug myringoplasty while group B were those who underwent TCA cauterization. Results At 6 months follow up there was closure of perforation in 29 out of 30(96.6%) patients of group A and 29 out of 32(91%) patients of group B. In both groups success was defined by closure of perforation. Comparison of results was done using Fisher Exact Test. The difference between the success rates of the two procedures was statistically insignificant with p value of 0.6624, indicating that both the office procedures are equally effective and can be used according to the needs of the patients. Conclusion These office procedures can revolutionize the protocol of tympanoplasty which has an obvious higher morbidity and more days of absenteeism as compared to these minor procedures.
