The aim of this study was to find out from patients who had undergone a myringoplasty via either an endaural or postaural approach whether or not they had experienced problems or symptoms relating to their scar, and if these differed depending on which incision had been used. A questionnaire was sent to 91 patients who had undergone myringoplasty between 18 and 62 months earlier. Thirty-four patients who had undergone previous or subsequent ear surgery were excluded. The only statistically significant difference found between groups having either a postauricular or endaural incision was in how likely others were to comment on their scar. There seem to be few long-term sequealae relating to the scar from myringoplasty. From a patient perspective, between 18 and 62 months postoperatively, there was very little difference in symptoms or problems whether or not an endaural or a postaural incision had been used for the surgery.
本研究的目的是从那些通过耳内或耳后入路接受鼓膜成形术的患者中，了解他们是否经历过与瘢痕相关的问题或症状，以及这些问题或症状是否因所使用的切口不同而有所差异。向91名在18至62个月前接受过鼓膜成形术的患者发送了问卷。34名之前或之后接受过耳部手术的患者被排除在外。在接受耳后或耳内切口的两组患者之间，唯一具有统计学意义的差异在于他人对其瘢痕发表评论的可能性。鼓膜成形术瘢痕似乎几乎没有长期后遗症。从患者的角度来看，术后18至62个月期间，无论手术使用的是耳内切口还是耳后切口，症状或问题几乎没有差异。
