The use of chitosan gel for post-traumatic perforation of the eardrum

The purpose of this work is to track and evaluate the effect of chitosan on tissue regeneration in post-traumatic eardrum perforation caused by mechanical damage, barotrauma, or infectious processes. Chitosan, a biopolymer with regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties, was used in the study. Since acute traumatic perforation of the eardrum may involve the structures of the middle and inner ear in the pathological process, it is advisable to use both subjective and objective methods to assess hearing dynamics. audiometry (a subjective technique) in adults is a routine method of assessing auditory function in cases of damage to both the sound-conducting and sound-receiving parts of the auditory system.  In the article, the authors provide data on the use of chitosan gel for post-traumatic perforation of the eardrum, which is used for the first time in Kyrgyzstan as a method of tissue regeneration, which leads to its restoration, as well as the results of comparison with the control group. As a result of the study, it was noted that the use of chitosan in eardrum injury opens up prospects for the development of new treatment methods that promote rapid and safe tissue healing, as well as reduce inflammatory reactions and prevent complications
