Title: [Tympanoplasty in the treatment of sequelae of blast injuries of the ear]. Author: Poncet JL, Cudennec YF, Diard JP, Rondet P, Buffe P. Journal: Ann Otolaryngol Chir Cervicofac; 1990; 107(6):366-70. PubMed ID: 2256609. Abstract: This study deals with 40 clinical files relating to auricular blast injury patients with ensuing eardrum perforation, managed either by tympanoplasty or by placement of a healing support. An analysis of the functional symptoms, the size and localization of the perforation; determination of the presence or lack of immediate post-injury infection, and of the degree and type of hearing loss suffered, permits to define the characteristics of postoperative ear status. A comparison of the study results with published data provides for specifying surgical indications and sheds light on the long-term evolution pattern in such patients.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
