Influence of the wet-ear state on the outcomes of tympanic membrane repair under ear endoscopy: a prospective case-control study.

BMC Surg

January 2025

Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Zhangqiu People's Hospital, No.1920 Mingshui Huiquan Road, Zhangqiu Distict, Jinan, 250200, People's Republic of China.

Background: To prospectively determine whether tympanoplasty for tympanic membrane perforation (TMP) in wet ears impacts recovery.

Methods: We prospectively enrolled 32 TMP patients (2021-2023) and divided them into the wet-ear (14 patients) and dry-ear groups (18 patients), according to the presence of middle-ear secretions/edema. All patients underwent high-resolution thin-slice computed tomography, ear endoscopy, and pure tone audiometry.

Unlabelled: This paper presents the results of the evaluation of cellular and humoral immunity in chronic purulent otitis media (CPOM), as well as cytokine status, and studies the effect of azoximers bromide on the immunity system in CPOM.

Objective: To study the clinical and immunologic effectiveness of azoximer bromide in the postoperative period during tympanoplasty in CPOM patients.

Material And Methods: Forty-nine patients with mesotympanitis and epitympanitis were examined.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the functional and clinical outcomes of endoscopic Type 1 tympanoplasty in patients with chronic otitis media and tympanic membrane perforations, focusing on hearing improvement and graft success rates.

Methods: This retrospective study included 46 patients with dry tympanic membrane perforations who underwent endoscopic Type 1 tympanoplasty. Audiometric data, including pure tone averages (PTA) and air-bone gap (ABG) measurements at four frequencies (500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz), were collected preoperatively and postoperatively.

Objective: Aim: To improve the effectiveness of surgical treatment for patients with post-traumatic tympanic membrane perforations and concurrent Eustachian tube dysfunction through simultaneous combined surgical methods.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: We analyzed clinical and functional outcomes of 35 patients (mean age: 34 ± 10,5 years) with tympanic membrane perforations caused by acoustic and blast injuries. The patients were divided into two groups: the first group (n=17) underwent only tympanoplasty type 1, while the second group (n=18) underwent simultaneous septoplasty, inferior turbinectomy, and tympanoplasty with prolonged middle ear ventilation using a subanular Silverstein tube.

Background: Middle ear infections caused by fungi are commonly identified through laboratory tests like fungal smears, culture, and DNA detection. There are two types of ear infections caused by fungi: middle ear fungal infections and fungal otitis media. Both fungal otitis media and fungus balls in the middle ear are increasingly rare.
