Abstract
The office closure method was performed on 49 ear drum perforations including 40 otitis medias and 9 traumatic ear drum perforations. The margins of the ear drum perforations were cauterized with 10% silver-nitrate, and Microspore Surgical Tape 3M was placed on the perforation as a patch. Twenty one of 40 otitis medias and all traumatic ear drum perforations were successfully closed. The office closure method should be considered as a useful treatment to repair ear drum perforations.
