Four decades after the introduction of tympanoplasty, the goal of achieving stable and long-term hearing improvement after tympanoplasty surgery for chronic otitis media continues to be elusive. In this review, we focus on the current status of our understanding of the mechanics and pathology of the middle ear after tympanoplasty surgery. We also analyze some problems and challenges faced by clinicians and basic scientists in the quest for improved postoperative hearing results.
鼓室成形术开展四十年来，慢性中耳炎鼓室成形术后实现稳定且长期听力改善的目标仍难以达成。在本综述中，我们聚焦于对鼓室成形术后中耳力学及病理学认识的现状。我们还分析了临床医生和基础科学家在追求改善术后听力结果过程中所面临的一些问题与挑战。
