Although studies have evaluated the effectiveness of butterfly tympanoplasty for repairing medium\u2010to\u2010large\u2010sized TM perforations, no study has compared its effectiveness with that of the conventional underlay cartilage technique. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of butterfly tympanoplasty for repairing medium\u2010to\u2010large\u2010sized TM perforations compared with that of the conventional underlay cartilage.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Study Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>Retrospective chart review.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Setting<\/jats:title><jats:p>This retrospective study analyzed patients treated for medium\u2010to\u2010large\u2010sized TM perforations at a tertiary medical center between January 2017 and July 2024.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We compared the outcomes of butterfly cartilage tympanoplasty with those of the conventional underlay technique, focusing on graft success rate, postoperative hearing outcomes, perioperative complications, and operating time.

The butterfly technique had a significantly shorter operating time compared with that of underlay tympanoplasty and was performed under local anesthesia. Both groups showed a significant postoperative air\u2010bone gap (ABG) reduction, with no significant difference in the ABG
