Introduction: Chronic suppurative otitis media is a major public health problem in children and adults. Tympanoplasty is a surgical procedure which aims to prevent recurrent otorrhea and restore hearing ability. Objective: To compare the graft uptake and the hearing outcome of tympanoplasty in non cholesteatomatous chronic otitis media between wet and totally dry ears. Methods: A total of 108 w...

Objective: To compare the outcome of myringoplasty in dry and wet ears suffering from Chronic suppurative otitis media with central perforation. Study design: Prospective study. Setting: Department of E.N.T, Burdwan Medical College & Hospital. Methods :100 patients with Chronic suppurative otitis media with central perforation ( 50 dry and 50 wet perforations) undergone myringoplasty by underla...

Health technology The study evaluated tympanomastoid surgery. A comparator was not explicitly stated at the outset, although it was likely to be no tympanomastoid surgery. The health technology was compared between two different patient groups. These were patients with wet ear suffering from chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) and patients with dry ear suffering from CSOM. The wet-ear group...

OBJECTIVE To undertake cost-utility analysis for tympanomastoid surgery to analyze its cost-effectiveness in treating adult chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM). METHODS Seventy-seven patients with CSOM were evaluated with the Chronic Ear Survey (CES) before and 1 year after tympanomastoid surgery. Direct health care cost data during the 1st year after operation were retrieved. The utility...

With the development in egocentric vision, skill measurement has been recently proposed as a novel topic in this emerging field. In this report, we record the the experimenter’s first-person videos in Wet labratories (wetlab), and measure his/her operative skills. Specifically, given the videos of expert and amateur, we analyze their head motions, hands motions, eye-hand coordinations and key-m...
