Damascus University Researchers Highlight Recent Research in Myringoplasty [Audiological results of myringoplasty performed by trainee surgeons (ENT residents) under supervision-analytic study].

Researchers from Damascus University have conducted a study on myringoplasty, a common surgery performed in otology centers. The study aimed to assess the audiological outcomes of myringoplasty performed by trainee surgeons under supervision. The results showed a mean hearing improvement of 12.25 dB of ABG and 10.6 dB of AC thresholds at specific frequencies. Although the rate of perforation closure in myringoplasties performed by trainees is lower than that of experienced surgeons, the audiological outcomes of myringoplasties performed by trainees under supervision were acceptable. Further research is recommended. [Extracted from the article]
