Hypothesis The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects hyaluronic acid, epidermal growth factor, and mitomycin C on healing acute experimental traumatic perforations tympanic membrane. Background Most membrane heal spontaneously. However, some form surgical treatment (i.e., myringoplasty) is needed for nonhealing perforations. Because closure occurs by squamous epithelial migration, drugs that stimulate regenerative process may aid in perforation, obviating need more extensive...
