Summary

This study compared two ear drum repair methods in 60 adults with large perforations. One group received standard surgery with a gel made from hyaluronic acid, while the other had standard surgery alone. Researchers measured how well the graft healed and whether hearing improved, aiming to see if the gel helps reduce complications.
