Fascia Tympanoplasty: A Tertiary Center Experience
Fascia tympanoplasty demonstrated favorable outcomes in terms of success rate, hearing improvement, graft uptake, and safety. Age and closure of residual perforation were identified as significant factors influencing the surgical outcome. However, the study had limitations such as its retrospective design and the small sample size. Further research with larger sample sizes and prospective designs is needed to confirm these findings and optimize the management of tympanic membrane perforations.
