Description
Yanting Zhang and Zhengcai Lou test a flap technique for repairing large eardrum holes at the edge of the drum, in work from twenty twenty-three. Big marginal perforations are hard to close, and graft failure haunts repair. Their method lifts the canal skin and a mucosal flap from the inside out.
Forty-eight patients had scope guided cartilage repair with the technique. Surgery averaged under forty minutes. At one year, grafts held in about ninety percent of cases. The hearing gap between air and bone shrank clearly, and functional success topped eighty-five percent. No patient lost inner ear hearing or suffered graft shifting. The authors call the results satisfactory with few complications.
