All patients has undergone myringoplasty and patients were divided into three groups according to surgical approach such as postaural, transcanal and endaural. All patients were followed up postoperatively and all postoperative findings were recorded. The three groups were compared with regard to healing of tympanic membrane and improvement of hearing.

Results: The success rate in this study was 80% . graft take rate in postaural, transcanal and endaural approaches were 92.5%, 66.67% and 63.64% respectively. Improvement of mean airbone gap in postaural, transcanal and endaural approaches were 19.04dB, 10.02dB and 11.36dB
