Comparison of cartilage myringoplasty for repairing non-cholesteatomatous chronic perforation with mastoid cavity pneumatization and opacification
Myringoplasty alone did not affect the graft success rate in the patients with mastoid cavity pneumatization or opacification, however, in comparison, the patients with mastoid cavity opacification had a worse preoperative hearing but better postoperative hearing recovery. In addition, myringoplasty alone could improve the mastoid cavity opacification.
