ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
We evaluated outcomes of otologic surgeries with a special interest in learning curves of residents in a tertiary referral setting.METHODS:
A retrospective review of the outcomes of 811 otologic operations was performed. The outcomes of faculty staff (group 1), senior residents (fifth year; group 2), and residents (fourth year) under supervision of the faculty staff (group 3) were assessed and compared. The faculty staff were available for consultation if needed and were ready to intervene at any stage for group 2.RESULTS:
There were 397 female patients (48.95%) and 414 male patients (51.04%) from 17 to 71 years of age. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups regarding graft take rate or hearing outcome (p > .05).CONCLUSIONS:
The otologic training of residents appears to be successful in Turkey, as the surgical outcomes of residents were comparable to those of faculty staff.
