The tympanic membrane heals spontaneously in 80% of cases as per most studies.1 The masterly wait and watch policy for 3 months unnecessarily exposes the patients to symptoms of tinnitus, ear block and life style modifications like keeping the ear dry. If we can identify the causes of non healing of traumatic perforation we can intervene surgically at an earlier stage and reduce the morbidity. This paper aims to study various etiologies of traumatic tympanic membrane perforation; evaluate the factors involved in healing of traumatic tympanic membrane perforation; and identify the patients who are unlikely to benefit from conservative management so that early surgical intervention may be recommended.","PeriodicalId":316775,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Otolaryngology-ENT Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130928555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Approximately, 8090% of patients with stage I or II head and neck cancer are cured with surgery or radiotherapy alone. A combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy is used in patients with inoperable or unresectable [stage III and IV] disease in an attempt to increase the cure rates over radiation alone. The advantages of the treatment combination are the preservation of cosmesis and function as compared to radical surgeries.","PeriodicalId":316775,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Otolaryngology-ENT Research","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128113855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Usually surgeons wait for a year or more for the spontaneous recovery of BVCP. Cases that show no recovery require some sort of lateralization procedure such as endoscopic laser posterior cordectomy (introduced by Kashima in late 80s), endoscopic arytenoidectomy, endoscopic arytenoid lateralization, or endoscopic expansion procedure (posterior cricoid split with graft placement) to improve glottic space in order to improve breathing.
