Study design and settings: comparative study of 40 patients who underwent the mediolateral tympanoplasty at Kasr-Alainy university hospitals from 2007 to 2011, all patients underwent preoperative and postoperative audiograms. Patients were divided randomly into 2 groups, group(1) 20 patients underwent(mediolateral tympanoplasty through posterior tympanomeatal flap) group(2) 20patients underwent(mediolateral tympanoplasty through anterior tympanomeatal flap), patients were followed for at least 24 months, outcome was considered successful if the tympanic membrane is intact and postoperative ABG < 30 dB UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
