A prospective case series evaluating a novel surgical technique, known as the inside-out raising mucosal-tympanomeatal flap technique, has shown promising outcomes in repairing large marginal perforations in the ear and improving hearing. This study was published in the journal BMC Surgery by Yangting Zhang and Zhengcai Lou.
Researchers enrolled 48 patients with large marginal perforations who underwent endoscopic cartilage myringoplasty using this innovative technique. The study aimed to assess graft success rates, hearing outcomes, and complications at the 12-month postoperative mark.
