  1. The degree of cavitation was analyzed with a modified Likert scale (1 = no cavity formation; 2 = minor formation of a cavity, with a good functional result; 3 = moderate cavity formation, crusting; 4 = major cavity formation, crusting, cholesteatomatic growth in the cavity). Posterior wall and attic region were analyzed separately. The numbers of patients with different degrees of cavitation are shown. The mean of cavitation values are shown on the left. (ns., p > 0.05).
