To evaluate the prognostic significance of aditus ad antrum patency, as determined by computed tomography (CT), on the surgical outcomes in patients with chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM). This study analyzed CSOM patients who had tympanoplasty at a tertiary hospital from 2015 to 2019. Patient...
