To report a novel tympanoplasty modification for anterior tympanic membrane perforation closure.<jats:italic>Materials and Methods<\/jats:italic>. A prospective study on 13 patients who underwent inferior tympanoplasty between December 2008 and May 2011 was carried out. In our technique, an inferior rather than a posterior flap is raised and the graft is laid from the inferior direction to obtain better access to the anterior part of the tympanic membrane perforation and provide better support.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. A total of 13 patients underwent the novel inferior tympanoplasty technique with a mean age of 33 years. Six patients had undergone tympanoplasties and\/or mastoidectomies in the past, 3 in the contralateral ear. A marginal perforation was observed in 3 cases, total perforation in 2 and subtotal in 1 case. The mean preoperative pure-tone average was 40.4\u2009dB (10 to 90\u2009dB), compared to 26.5\u2009dB (10 to 55\u2009dB) postoperatively. All perforations were found to be closed but one (92.3% success rate).<jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>. The inferior tympanoplasty technique provides a favorable outcome in terms of tympanic membrane closure and hearing improvement for anterior perforations, even in difficult and complex cases. It is based on a well-known technique and is easy to implement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2013\/758598","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,8,13]],"date-time":"2013-08-13T21:02:01Z","timestamp":1376427721000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Inferior Flap Tympanoplasty: A Novel Technique for Anterior Perforation Closure"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2013","author":[{"given":"Haim","family":"Gavriel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Assaf Harofeh Medical Center, Zerifin 70300, Israel"},{"name":"Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Ramat Aviv 69978, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0969-2720","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ephraim","family":"Eviatar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Assaf Harofeh Medical Center, Zerifin 70300, Israel"},{"name":"Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Ramat Aviv 69978, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"issue":"12","key":"1","first-page":"1","volume":"107","year":"1997","journal-title":"Laryngoscope"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0030-6665(05)70144-4"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"439","DOI":"10.1177\/000348948609500501","volume":"95","year":"1986","journal-title":"Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.anl.2009.06.002"},{"issue":"2","key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"213","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-198902000-00015","volume":"99","year":"1989","journal-title":"Laryngoscope"},{"issue":"5","key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"802","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-200205000-00007","volume":"112","year":"2002","journal-title":"Laryngoscope"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otohns.2004.10.018"},{"volume":"7","journal-title":"Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews","year":"2010","key":"8"},{"issue":"2","key":"9","first-page":"193","volume":"49","year":"1995","journal-title":"Acta Oto-Rhino-Laryngologica Belgica"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2273.2004.00947.x"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-007-0485-8"},{"issue":"10","key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1769","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-200210000-00012","volume":"112","year":"2002","journal-title":"Laryngoscope"}],"container-title":["BioMed Research International"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/bmri\/2013\/758598.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/bmri\/2013\/758598.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/bmri\/2013\/758598.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,16]],"date-time":"2024-05-16T13:21:37Z","timestamp":1715865697000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/bmri\/2013\/758598\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013]]},"references-count":12,"alternative-id":["758598","758598"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2013\/758598","relation":{},"ISSN":["2314-6133","2314-6141"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"2314-6133"},{"type":"electronic","value":"2314-6141"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013]]}}}
