Randomized study compares graft success rates in chronic tympanic membrane perforation using different packing techniques, suggesting effectiveness of autologous blood.
Autologous blood on the graft surface yielded higher graft success rates than EAC packing following cartilage underlay myringoplasty with middle ear packing, while there was no statistically significant difference between blood and no packing groups. Nevertheless, audiometric outcomes were comparable among these 3 arms.
