Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Laser Therapy

Background:

  • Intractable granular myringitis presents a therapeutic challenge.
  • Previous treatments may have limited efficacy or significant side effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the technique and outcomes of endoscopy-aided CO2 laser therapy for intractable granular myringitis.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this outpatient procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 21 patients with intractable granular myringitis.
  • CO2 laser vaporization of granulation tissue (1-2 seconds, 5-10W).
  • Mean follow-up of 11 months.

Main Results:

  • 85% cure rate after a single treatment.
