Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Trauma Management

Background:

  • Traumatic tympanic membrane perforations are common injuries.
  • Effective and minimally invasive closure methods are needed.
  • Current treatments may involve complex procedures or anesthesia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a straightforward and dependable method for managing traumatic tympanic membrane ruptures.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of a novel patching technique for eardrum perforations.
  • To present a non-invasive approach for traumatic eardrum perforation closure.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 108 patients with traumatic eardrum perforations.
  • Treatment involved patching the perforation with micropore tape (3M Micropore Strip Tape).

  • The study excluded cases with ossicular discontinuity.

    • Main Results:

    • A complete healing rate of 99.1% (107 out of 108 cases) was achieved.
    • The micropore tape patching method proved highly effective.
    • No anesthesia or complex manipulation of the perforation was required.

    Conclusions:

    • Micropore tape patching is a simple, reliable, and effective method for treating fresh traumatic tympanic membrane perforations.
    • This technique offers a minimally invasive and successful approach to eardrum repair.
    • The high success rate supports its use in clinical practice for suitable cases.
