Background: Trauma remains a regular occurrence relating to activities and lifestyle of humans and it can affect any part of the body. The ear is located within the cranio-facial skeleton which is exposed to environmental trauma that can occur as blunt injuries like contusion, concussion, decompression, and penetrating injuries as fractures. Objective: The aim of the present work was to investigate the effect of patching of  traumatic TMP either with gel foam or steri-strips, and to compare it with conservative treatment depending on closure rate, closure time, hearing gain, and rate of otorrhoea. Patients and Methods: This prospective study was carried out on sixty patients who attended to outpatient clinic of Al-Hussien and SayedGalalHospitals, Al-AzharUniversity from February 2019 to December 2019. All patients who came with traumatic tympanic membrane perforation were screened. They were divided randomly into three equal groups; group A was treated conservatively, group B was treated by steri-strip patch, and group C was treated by gel foam patch. Results: The closure rates of the perforations in conservative group, Steri-Strips patching and gel foam patching groups  were 80%, 95%, and 100%, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in tympanic membrane closure rate between the 3 groups. Steri-Strip and gel foam patching groups showed shorter healing times compared with the conservative group. However, there was an increased rate of otorrhea in the Steri-Strip group and conservative group compared with gel foam patching group. Conclusion: Steri-strip and gel foam patching accelerated the closure of small, moderate and large traumatic tympanic membrane perforations, closure rates and closure times did not differ significantly among the steri-strip and gel foam groups. The closure time increased in steri-strip and gel foam groups in comparison to conservative group and this difference is highly significant.
