- Abstract
This article compares two types of external ear canal packing options, Spongostan and Silastic, for endoscopic ear surgery. The study found that there was no statistically significant difference in post-operative healing outcomes between the two dressings. Both dressings were considered viable options for endoscopic ear surgery. The study aimed to fill a gap in the literature regarding packing options for this type of surgery. However, the study has limitations and further research is needed to determine the optimal timing of leaving the Spongostan dressing in place.
