Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the procedural outcomes and learning curve of type I endoscopic tympanoplasty (ET) performed by a single surgeon.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of 376 patients who underwent type I ET performed by a single surgeon over 7 years. We evaluated the pre/post air-bone gap (ABG), time required for surgery, changes in pain after surgery, success, and failure rate of type I ET.
Objectives: Patients' clinical presentation is critical for identifying suspected perilymphatic fistula (PLF). The involvement of third-window lesions in the pathomechanism of PLF has been hypothesized. This study investigated the clinical features of PLF and the relationship of the third-window effect with PLF.

- The study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of surgery for patients suspected of having barotraumatic perilymphatic fistula (PLF) in terms of hearing improvement and vestibular symptoms.
- 39 patients who underwent surgery from 2005 to 2017 were assessed before and after the procedure using tests for hearing and balance issues.
- Results showed significant hearing improvement in about 65% of definite PLF cases and almost 62% of probable PLF cases, with nearly all patients experiencing a reduction in dizziness post-surgery, although some continued to have balance issues.
