Background: Myringoplasty is one of the various surgical techniques for the management of chronic supurative otitis media of tubotympanic type (CSOM-TT). The presence of a perforation of tympanic membrane with intermittent discharge and hearing loss of conductive nature are the indications of myringoplasty. Myringoplasty can be performed by any of the three approaches, i.e. permeatal, endaural, or post-aural. It is a beneficial procedure done for closing tympanic membrane perforation and improving hearing.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare different approaches of myringoplasty and various factors influencing surgical outcome.
Materials And Methods: Myringoplasty was done in 90 cases of tympanic membrane perforation with temporalis fascia graft by underlay or onlay technique through one of the three approaches, i.e. permeatal, endaural and post-aural.
Results: The overall success rate in this study was 81.11% with majority of patients had improvement in hearing. Statistically there was no significant difference in results with different approaches. Age, sex, site, size and duration of disease had no bearing on graft take in this study.
Conclusion: In repairing tympanic membrane perforations similar success rates are achieved with postaural or endaural approaches. A permeatal approach is most limited in the exposure obtained. What is important in choosing the appropriate approach is the location and size of the perforation and size of external auditory canal.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) contains high platelet concentration and growth factors that help in rapid wound healing, hemostasis, and decreased scarring. It has been used in various conditions to aid in healing, but its use in ear, nose, and throat (ENT) is not yet common. To compare the outcome of using PRP with myringoplasty with that of myringoplasty alone in the repair of tympanic membrane perforations.

Acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) in children may be accompanied by acute otitis media (AOM) which is often associated with bacterial co-infections. These conditions are among the primary reasons that children visit hospitals and require antibiotic treatment. This study evaluated the efficacy of the nasal-spraying probiotics (LiveSpo Navax containing 5 billion Bacillus subtilis and B.

However, most simulators lack the ability to mimic the differing anatomic complexities between patients, such as variable external auditory canal (EAC) size. We developed a novel low-cost, medium-fidelity 3-dimensional-printed PET simulator with different EAC sizes to better reflect procedure complexity.

Building on promising pilot study results that suggested homeopathy's non-inferiority, this multicenter trial aims to validate these findings and assess their broader clinical applicability.
Method: This open-label, randomized controlled trial was conducted on children (aged 02 to 12 years), suffering from acute otitis media.

Therapy dogs have been increasingly incorporated into a variety of medical treatment programs to improve patients' treatment outcomes and wellbeing. However, research investigating the stress level of therapy dogs in this setting is limited. This is the first randomized-controlled and prospective study that investigated the wellbeing of therapy dogs in an inpatient stroke rehabilitation program.
