Summary

Tympanoplasty is the surgical operation performed for the reconstruction of the eardrum and/or the ossicles. Tympanoplasty is classified into five different types, originally described by Horst Ludwig Wullstein. 1,2 Type 1 involves repair of the tympanic membrane alone, when the middle ear is normal. A type 1 tympanoplasty is synonymous to myringoplasty, Type 2 involves repair of the tympanic membrane and middle ear in spite of slight defects in the middle ear ossicles, Type 3 when mallus and incus are absent graft place directly on stapes head., Type 4 describes a repair when the stapes foot plate is movable, but the crura are missing. The resulting middle ear will only consist of the Eustachian tube and hypotympanum, Type 5 is a repair involving a fixed stapes footplate.

There are various prognostic factors reported in the literature that may influence the surgical success of tympanoplasty.
