Comparitive study of type I tympanoplasty efficiency and histopathological changes of tympanic membrane in dry and wet ear

Abstract

Background: Type I tympanoplasty is a surgical procedure commonly performed to repair tympanic membrane perforations and improve hearing outcomes. The presence of a dry or wet ear condition prior to surgery may influence the efficiency of the procedure and induce histopathological changes in the tympanic membrane. This study aims to compare the efficiency of type I tympanoplasty in dry and wet ear conditions and assess histopathological changes in the tympanic membrane.
