Regenerative Treatment for Tympanic Membrane Perforation

Otology & Neurotology, 2011
To establish a tissue engineering therapy for the treatment of large tympanic membrane perforation (TMP) without the need for conventional surgical therapy.Randomized control trial.General hospital.A total of 63 chronic TMPs were randomly selected from outpatients.Of the total 63 chronic TMPs, 53 were randomly assigned to the basic fibroblast growth ...

[Tympanic membrane perforation ].

Duodecim; laaketieteellinen aikakauskirja, 2014
Tympanic membrane perforation may be caused by, e.g., trauma or acute or chronic middle ear infection. Perforation causes conductive hearing loss. Since it predisposes to infections, it is important to keep the ear dry. In most cases traumatic perforations heal spontaneously.

The perforated tympanic membrane.

American family physician, 1992
Tympanic membrane perforations typically result from trauma or acute otitis media. Most perforations do not cause more than a mild conductive hearing loss, aural fullness and mild tinnitus. Blood, purulent secretions and other debris should be carefully suctioned out of the canal and the perforation size and location described. Irrigation and pneumatic

Errors in the assessment of tympanic membrane perforations

Clinical Otolaryngology, 1993
It is commonly stated that operative closure of large perforations of the tympanic membrane is less successful than closure of small perforations. Few authors mention the exact size of the perforations studied, and fewer still give their method of measuring perforations.

Ventilation Tubes and Persisting Tympanic Membrane Perforations

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1997
Surgical management of otitis media with effusion and recurrent acute otitis media includes myringotomy and the use of ventilation tubes. Since this procedure was reintroduced by Armstrong in 1954, it has become one of the most commonly performed operations in otolaryngology. In most series perforation of the tympanic membrane in some patients has been

Photography in treatment of tympanic membrane perforations

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 1984
A photographic method which gives a large image on the film is used for recording perforations of the tympanic membrane and it may be valuable for comparing different methods of closure. A method for the treatment of minor perforations is also briefly mentioned.

REPAIR OF CENTRAL PERFORATIONS OF TYMPANIC MEMBRANE

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1953
THE REPAIR of central perforations of the tympanic membrane has received practically no mention in current textbooks of otolaryngology and had received relatively scant attention in the literature prior to World War II. However, rupture of the tympanic membrane as a wartime injury focused much more interest on the closing of perforations, and a review ...

Tympanic membrane perforations.

Acta oto-rhino-laryngologica Belgica, 1995
The recent literature on the healing of tympanic membrane perforations is reviewed. Research on the migratory phenomena, epithelial migration and keratin dispersion on top of the tympanic membrane, is discussed. The etiology and pathogenesis of tympanic membrane perforations is then briefly described.

Growth factors in tympanic membrane perforations.

The American journal of otology, 1998
Little is known about the arrested healing of chronic central tympanic membrane perforations and the mechanism involved in this process. Some authors have traced the failure to a growth factor deficiency at the perforation margin. In addition, recently, several growth factors have been tried out to improve tympanic membrane (TM) closure in animals. The
