Table 3.
In the attic obliteration group, the average postoperative air-bone gap was not different from the preoperative hearing and the average gap improved in the patients with attic reconstruction. Bone conduction did not deteriorate in either group. *P<0.05.
AB gap: air-bone gap (0.5, 1, 2, and 3 kHz); BC: bone conduction (1, 2, and 4 kHz).
