Article Synopsis
- - This study assessed whether ear packing is necessary during otological surgeries, specifically myringoplasty, focusing on graft success and hearing improvements.
- - In a trial involving 200 patients, results showed similar graft success rates (around 90%) and hearing gains between those who received ear packing and those who did not, with no significant differences.
- - The conclusion suggests that for certain cases, avoiding ear packing during myringoplasty can simplify the procedure without negatively affecting patient outcomes.
