A study of 15 patients with 17 tympanic membrane perforations resulting from water sports was carried out. Most small perforations healed spontaneously. Perforations that persisted after 8 weeks were treated surgically, usually with the office paper patch procedure. A frequent history of middle ear problems in these patients suggests that middle ear dysfunction may play a role in the occurrence and delayed healing of traumatic perforations.
对15例因水上运动导致17处鼓膜穿孔的患者进行了一项研究。大多数小穿孔可自行愈合。8周后仍未愈合的穿孔采用手术治疗，通常采用门诊纸贴法。这些患者中耳问题病史常见，提示中耳功能障碍可能在创伤性穿孔的发生及延迟愈合中起作用。
