Comparative Study of Tympanic Membrane Regeneration Therapy for Chronic Otitis Media
The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 9, Page 4006-4014, September 2026.This study compared tympanic membrane regeneration therapy (TMRT) with conventional tympanoplasty (CTP) for the treatment of chronic suppurative perforated otitis media (COM). TMRT has many advantages over CTP as a surgical treatment for COM. In particular, significant differences were observed in operative time, hearing improvement, and patient ...
