In Tarivid group, 23 patients' operative cavities were soaked with 0.3% Tarivid, while other 19 patients' operative cavities in boric acid group were soaked with 4% boric acid during the open mastoidectomy with tympanoplasty. RESULT: The recovery rate was 82.6% and 50% respectively. There was significant difference between two groups (P < 0.05). No side effect was observed. CONCLUSION: It shows that using Tarivid otic solution in the operation can improve the outcome of the operation and has high security.
