RESULTS: The graft take rate was 87% for the wet ear group and 90.4% for the dry ear group. The hearing gain rate was 91.3% for the wet ear group and 92.3% for the dry ear group. Differences were found to be statistically nonsignificant for both graft intake (p=0.665) and hearing gain (p=1.00). CONCLUSION: The success of myringoplasty is not adversely affected by the presence of mucoid ear discharge at time of surgery, and outcomes are comparable to those of the operation done for dry ear.
