Long‐Term Audiological Outcomes After Surgical Repair for Congenital Aural Stenosis
Key Points
The study aims to evaluate long-term audiological outcomes after surgical repair of congenital aural stenosis.
Evaluated audiological outcomes post-surgery
Assessed deterioration over the first year
Analyzed preoperative AC thresholds for predictive value
Durable improvement in audiological outcomes was observed post-surgery
Any deterioration usually happened within the first year
Preoperative AC thresholds can predict risk of deterioration
Abstract
CAS repair yielded durable postoperative improvement. If deterioration occurred, it was mostly confined to the first year. Preoperative AC thresholds may help predict the risk for deterioration.
