- The study aimed to assess how the size of osteotomy affects postoperative outcomes after TCL-DCR surgery.
- A retrospective analysis divided patients into two groups based on the diameter of the osteotomy: 9 mm (group A) and 14 mm (group B).
- Results showed a higher success rate in group B (81.8%) compared to group A (66.6%), indicating that a larger osteotomy diameter leads to better outcomes.
Background: To understand the level of satisfaction among patients undergoing otoplasty using the combined Mustardé-Furnas technique. To evaluate surgery outcomes using McDowell/Wright (MW) criteria.
Objectives: The authors sought to analyze any possible correlation between satisfaction level and surgery outcome.
