Secondary objectives were to analyze complications of closure and correlations between success and breach, treatment and patient data.</div></div><div><h3>Material and method</h3><div>This was a single-center retrospective observational study of patients who underwent surgery for temporal bone OMB via a middle cranial fossa or transmastoid approach in a French university teaching hospital between 2007 and 2022, with follow-up of at least 6<!--> <!-->months. Patients with superior semicircular canal dehiscence were excluded. Study data comprised gender, age, body mass index, OMB etiology, mode of discovery, audiometric and radiological data, surgical technique, length of hospital stay and postoperative complications. The primary endpoint was absence of a cerebrospinal fluid leak on MRI at 6<!--> <!-->months. Fisher's exact test or Chi<sup>2</sup> test were used for qualitative data and Student <em>t</em>-test for quantitative data.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The closure success rate was 87%: 81% (3 recurrences) in the middle cranial fossa group of 16 patients and 93% in the transmastoid group of 14 patients.
