A Comparative Study of the Outcomes of 2 Surgical Procedures for Safe Type of Chronic Otitis Media - Full Text View

Purpose

Mastoidotympanoplasty is a recognised surgery that is performed for chronic otitis media. But whether mastoidectomy in addition to tympanoplasty is really necessary in each and every case of quiescent chronic otitis media still remains controversial. Hence this study has been undertaken to study the differences in the outcomes of the 2 surgical procedures performed for chronic otitis media in a randomized control design.
