    Tympanic membrane perforations in animals typically heal spontaneously. The squamous epithelium plays a key role in eardrum regeneration, differing from skin wound healing, with connective tissue repair lagging behind epithelial healing.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Regenerative Medicine
    • Comparative Pathology

    Background:

    • Limited information exists on the healing process of tympanic membrane perforations.
    • Existing data on tympanic membrane perforation healing is sometimes contradictory.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the histological and histopathological course of tympanic membrane perforation closure.
    • To understand the mechanisms of spontaneous healing in animal models.

    Main Methods:

    • Experimental study involving mice and hamsters.
    • Histological and histopathological analysis of tympanic membrane perforation healing.

    Main Results:

    • Traumatic tympanic membrane perforations demonstrate a high rate of spontaneous closure in animal models.

  • The squamous epithelium is crucial for the regeneration of tympanic perforations.
  • Connective tissue defect closure consistently lags behind epithelial layer healing.
  • This healing pattern differs from typical skin wound regeneration.

    • Conclusions:

    • Spontaneous closure of traumatic tympanic membrane perforations is common in animals.
    • The unique healing mechanism of the tympanic membrane has implications for evaluating tympanoplasty techniques in animal experiments.
    • Findings provide insights for human tympanoplasty procedures.
