Objective: Chronic otitis media (COM) is characterized by chronic, intermittent, or persistent discharge through a perforated tympanic membrane. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the postoperative audiological outcomes in middle-aged patients compared to younger patients who underwent tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy via post-auricular approach for the treatment of COM.
Methods: This prospective interventional study included patients admitted in wards from August 2017 to January 2019 at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and Hospital, Aligarh, India.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the use of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in tympanoplasty for patients with chronic otitis media (COM), focusing on its effects on graft survival and healing time.
- 80 patients were divided into two groups: one received standard grafts, while the other had grafts supplemented with PRF, with follow-ups over 20 weeks.
- Results showed that the PRF group had significantly better graft survival and faster healing times compared to the standard treatment group, indicating PRF's potential benefits in surgical procedures.
