Objective:
To evaluate the efficacy of a novel technique of using rotation flap of canal skin in patients with total or subtotal tympanic membrane (TM) perforation with no anterior residual tympanic membrane.
Methods:
A retrospective study of 50 patients with total or subtotal perforation repaired with rotation flap of canal skin. Clinical and audiometric data were recorded.
Results:
The overall perforation closure rate was 96%. A statistically significant shortened healing time was observed.
Conclusion:
The rotation flap of canal skin could be an effective and safe technique for perforations with no anterior residual TM.
