Abstract
Purpose Because successful healing of a tympanic membrane perforation (TMP) depends upon the maintenance of blood supply to the injured area, we assessed the usefulness of narrow band imaging (NBI) video endoscopy to evaluate its vascularization.
To our knowledge, the use of NBI to assess tympanic membrane (TM) vascular patterns has never been attempted.
