      <Abstract>Tympanoplasty is indicated to repair tympanic membrane perforations in patients affected by hearing loss. We investigated the outcomes of unconventional microscopic approach to type 1 tympanoplasty with autologous platelet gel in tympanic membrane perforation. Considering that platelet gel improves reparation of cutaneous lesions, we evaluate the efficacy of platelet gel application in patients with a damage of a particular soft tissue, as tympanic membrane (Adler and Kent, 2002; Bhanot and Alex, 2002; Mann et al., 2001; Pierce et al., 1991). We treated a patient referred to Otorinolaryngology Clinic of S. Maria del Carmine Hospital, Rovereto (TN) with a diagnosis of tympanic membrane perforation and mixed left hearing loss who undergone to a type 1 tympanoplasty with platelet gel. Our primary outcome was tympanic index closure. We report a faster recovery in this patient treated with platelet gel as an outpatients procedure. In conclusion, platelet gel application in otosurgery, in outpatients treatment. is a noninvasive, safe technique to restore tympanic perforation. However, further prospective data are needed to confirm these preliminary results.</Abstract>
