The “C-Bending-Spring-Tympanoplasty” for Reconstruction of Anterior Tympanic Membrane Defects: A Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial

Puntos clave

This research evaluates the effectiveness of the C-bending-spring-tympanoplasty technique for repairing anterior tympanic membrane defects.
Conducted a prospective randomized clinical trial
Compared success rates of anterior tympanic membrane reconstruction
Assessed hearing outcomes post-surgery
Showed high success rates for reconstruction of anterior tympanic membrane defects
Hearing outcomes were not adversely affected by the supporting U-spring bending cartilage
Highlighted the technique's effectiveness for closing anterior defects

Resumen

CBST allows for comparably high success rates of reconstruction of anterior TM defects and the hearing outcome. Accordingly, the U-spring bending cartilage supporting the graft does not adversely affect hearing outcome. Thus, CBST can be considered a useful technique to close anterior defects of the TM effectively.
