Article Synopsis
- A retrospective analysis was conducted on 431 patients with chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) to evaluate the effects of tympanoplasty, comparing those with otomycosis to those without.
- The study found similar graft uptake rates (94.57% for those with otomycosis vs. 96.06% for those without) and no significant differences in hearing improvement, as measured by air-conduction thresholds and air-bone gaps.
- Culture results revealed that the most common fungal infections included specific genera, and overall, CSOM patients with otomycosis can safely undergo tympanoplasty without negatively impacting their surgical outcomes.
