Collagen Patch Repair of Tympanic Membrane Perforation

The aim of this study was to investigate how fibrinogen based collagen graft repair of central perforation, performed endoscopically improves both hearing and ear discharge. This study was done to see how effective the closure of small tympanic membrane perforations using collagen patch would be. This was performed on 30 patients. This procedure was carried out as an office procedure under local anaesthesia, and all patients had consented to participate in the study after hearing the merits and demerits of fibrinogen based collagen patch closure of tympanic membrane perforations.
