A member asked:

Child has hole in ear drum a ent said paper patch but he won't do it cause her bleeding disorder a diff ent said patch won't work needs graph right?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: There is more to deciding how to patch a perforated tm than paper vs graft. Many things go into that decision including age of child, how long the perforation has been present, child's other health problems, skill of the physician with different methods. You need to ask the specific doctors you have seen why they are suggesting what they are suggesting and why not the other technique.
