To determine their impact on the surgery’s outcomes, they noted that a myringoplasty was more likely to succeed if the ear had been dry for a longer period; they have observed that every time it has been dry for less than one month before surgery, the success rate was 60%, and if it had been dry for more than one month, that rate goes up to 82%, and the difference was statistically not significant but close to significance level (p=0.067).
