Abstract

Tympanoplasty can be performed under either general anaesthesia or local anesthesia and sedation and can be well tolerated by the patient with minimal discomfort.A total of 100 patients were selected divided into groups of 50 each. Patients in group one who underwent tympanoplasty with local anesthesia and while in second group underwent tympanoplasty with general anesthesia. Data was analysed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) 21.0 version, IBM, Chicago. Comparison of categorical variables was done using Chi-square test. P value <0.5 was considered statistically significant. The choice of anesthesia completely depends on surgeon in terms of his/her comfort and ease of performing surgery. For an anaesthetist it depends on patient compliance for which a good patient selection, pre-operative explanation and the use of appropriate sedation are the important factors for local anaesthesia ear procedures to be acceptable to patients.
