At 6\u2009months after surgery, a higher percentage of patients who underwent excision alone healed (89%) compared to those who had excision with tube insertion (75%). The depth of the retraction pocket and the integrity of the ossicular chain were also independently associated with the tympanic membrane closure. Age, sex, side of ear surgery and location of retraction were not associated with this outcome. At 6\u2009months, the probability that the difference between the two surgical groups is due to chance is 0.004.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In our series, ancillary ventilation tube insertion had a detrimental effect on the complete spontaneous healing of the tympanic membrane after retraction pocket excision without surgical repair of the defect.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/coa.70139","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,10]],"date-time":"2026-07-10T01:26:41Z","timestamp":1783646801000},"page":"875-881","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Time\u2010to\u2010Event Comparison of Two Surgical Techniques for Excision of Localised Pars Tensa Retraction"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"51","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1573-8222","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zohaib","family":"Hussain","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust  Gloucester UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-9646-6019","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mable T.","family":"Monachan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust  Gloucester UK"},{"name":"The Royal College of Ophthalmologists National Ophthalmology Database  Cheltenham UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2989-8972","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paul H.
