Figure 1. Serial oto-endoscopic findings of pre-and
post-operative tympanic membranes.
All included patients showed successful graft uptake at postoperative 3
months. However, NGPG showed statistically significant earlier
epithelializationand less edematous fascia compared to GPG at
postoperative 1-and 2-months (p <0.05). (GPG;
gelfoam-packing group, NGPG; non-gelfoam-packing group.)
