Methodology: A total of 100 patients were taken for Tympanoplasty procedure. Detail assessment and examination were taken to all patients with Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM). Middle Ear Risk Index (MERI) score were taken to all patients. And patients were categorized based on Middle Ear Risk Index (MERI) score. And then tympanoplasty procedure were applied. Results: Data was analyzed by using simple statistical methods with the help of MS-Office software. Conclusions: Patients with mild MERI Score were higher rate of succeeded for tympanoplasty than patients with moderate and severe MERI Score. Lower the MERI score were greater the chances of acceptance of graft for tympanoplasty procedure than higher the MERI Score of patients with Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM).
