Use of temporalis fascia or tragal perichondrium in myringoplasty is a well known entity sins long time. No proper data available for comparison of temporal fascia vs tragalperichondrium in myringoplasty. The objective of our study to know the comparative outcome of Myringoplasty using Temporalis fascia and Tragal perichondrium as graft materials. Advantages and disadvantages in harvesting graft materials, postoperative complications, graft uptake and hearing improvement. A prospective study was conducted on 80 cases of Foreign Bodies admitted from 1st November 2010 to 30thMayl 2012. The complete data is collected from the patient in a case record form by taking history of illness, detailed clinical examination & relevant investigations. As compared to Tragalperichondrium harvesting temporalis fascia was easy surgically. There was no much difference in post oprative sequilae. With temporalis fascia graft uptake was 92.5% compared to 87.5% in tragal perichondrium 80% hearing improvement that is air bone gap less than 20db with temporalis fascia and 75% hearing improvement with tragalperichondrium. In our study temporal fascia is a better graft material when to tragalperichondriu.
