Gelatin sponge used in mastoidotympanectomy to substitute lodoform gauze

摘要

We adopted gelatin sponge to substitute iodoform gauze to fill up the mastoid cavity after mastoidotympanectomy. We studied two group of patients who accepted mastoidotympanectomy, in one group, gelatin sponge was used to fill the mastoid cavity; in the other group, iodoform gauze was used. We found that gelatin sponge was superior to iodoform gauze.
