title: [Tympanoplasty in the treatment of sequelae of blast injuries of the ear].
abstract: This study deals with 40 clinical files relating to auricular blast injury patients with ensuing eardrum perforation, managed either by tympanoplasty or by placement of a healing support. An analysis of the functional symptoms, the size and localization of the perforation; determination of the presence or lack of immediate post-injury infection, and of the degree and type of hearing loss suffered, permits to define the characteristics of postoperative ear status. A comparison of the study results with published data provides for specifying surgical indications and sheds light on the long-term evolution pattern in such patients.
