Predictive factors of long-term tympanoplasty outcomes in children with cleft palate
The success rate of tympanoplasty in children with cleft palate is lower than would be expected in an adult or non-cleft population, but can still be largely successful at a mean age of <12 years. The ability to assess the contralateral ear may the most important predictive factor in determining success rather than age, cleft type, or other demographic and clinical factors.
