Patients attending the outpatient department of Otorhinolaryngology were screened and 50 patients were included in the study. Results: In our study, the graft uptake rate was 96%. Conclusion: Patients having discharge duration for less than 5 years had better graft uptake as compared to patients who had discharged for longer duration. Keywords: tympanoplasty, graft uptake, ear discharge, hearing loss
