U.S., Sept. 18 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07823894) titled 'Boomerang-Shaped Cartilage Graft in Endoscopic Tympanoplasty' on Sept. 11.
Brief Summary: This study evaluates the anatomical and functional outcomes of using a boomerang-shaped chondroperichondrial graft in endoscopic Type I tympanoplasty for repairing anterior or subtotal tympanic membrane perforations.
Anterior and subtotal eardrum perforations represent challenging surgical scenarios due to limited visualization, lack of anterior graft support, and higher risks of graft retraction, medialization, or residual perforation. The boomerang-shaped cartilage and perichondrium graft provides a sturdy cartilage framework along the ante...
