Their formation is associated with a disruption in middle-ear ventilation pathways, leading to the loss of organised collagen of the tympanic membrane. There are several approaches in treating retraction pockets, which aim either to improve ventilation or repair the retraction pockets themselves.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S0022215121004321_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A review of the literature regarding the classification and associated management of retraction pockets was conducted, using Medline and Cochrane Library databases, with the addition of our institution's experience in undertaking novel techniques.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S0022215121004321_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"results\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All the current classification systems fail to guide treatment or prognosticate the disease.
