摘要
The history of myringoplasty and tympanoplasty is one of the most interesting in the history of ear surgery. The aims and ambitions of otologists have evolved along with time and experience. The objective of this article is to give an idea about the evolution of tympanoplasty, thus giving inspiration to future surgeons in their quest for a perfect technique which would be as good as a normal ear and its hearing. The history of otology starts from the early Egyptian healers. Hippocrates in his time observed that ear infections may be cause of death especially in young children. Early surgeries were performed mainly for drainage in order to save the life of the child having the ear disease. With time and scientific developments newer methods of treatment started to evolve. The invention of antimicrobials and their usage threw a new light into the treatment of otology infections. Then after the advent of microscope and with better understanding of the anatomy and physiology of ear and its diseases treatment strategies and surgical planning kept on advancing. Surgeons with time have become more interested in returning back the hearing along with curing infection from ear. But the quest is on for the perfect surgical technique which would give best results with minimal maneuvering. History of tympanoplasty nearly sums up the history of evolution of otology as a whole. The quest is still on to devise a way so as to give maximum post-operative hearing using minimal instrumentation.
