What is the patching method for traumatic tympanic membrane perforation?

  Although the tympanic membrane is located deep in the external auditory canal, it is very thin and susceptible to rupture by direct or indirect external impact. Patients suddenly feel a rumbling in the ear after the injury, short-lived ear pain, followed by a feeling of stuffiness, deafness and tinnitus. Examination of the external auditory canal often reveals blood or a small amount of blood crust, and the eardrum has uneven, blood-margined perforations.  Although traditional treatment is an effective method, it takes a long time to heal, and there are still many tympanic membrane perforations that do not heal, leaving permanent tympanic membrane perforations that require further treatment such as tympanic membrane repair before they can be expected to heal, causing a mental burden and financial loss to the patient. From the time of tympanic membrane trauma perforation to tympanic membrane repair, the discomfort of stuffiness, deafness and tinnitus in the affected ear is always with the patient in life and work, and often leads to otitis media after water in the ear canal.  The treatment of traumatic tympanic membrane perforation with egg inner membrane patching not only significantly shortens the healing time of the tympanic membrane, but also significantly increases the healing rate. The purpose of applying a thin piece of egg membrane to the traumatic tympanic membrane perforation is not only to play a bridging support role, but also to make the edge of the tympanic membrane perforation heal gradually along the membrane piece without curling, misalignment and affecting the healing of the tympanic membrane and scar formation, and to play the role of a false tympanic membrane, which temporarily relieves the discomfort of stuffy ears, deafness and tinnitus, especially this method is easy to implement, no complications occur, and no discomfort to the patient during treatment. It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
