Current challenges in pulsatile tinnitus surgery include unclear short‑term symptom fluctuations, undefined recovery timelines, and insufficient evidence for reconstructive materials, limiting standardized postoperative assessment.
The team from Fudan University published a study in ENT Discovery focusing on short-term outcomes after modified sigmoid sinus wall reconstruction using bone cement. They analyzed 26 patients, tracking symptom resolution via standardized scales and imaging. Results showed a 96.2% overall success rate, with most symptoms resolving within four weeks.
This work defines the short-term recovery trajectory and supports bone cement as an effective reconstructive material. It provides objective evidence for optimizing surgical techniques and material selection, and supports future development of more accurate and personalized management strategies for pulsatile tinnitus. The work entitled “Short-Term Fluctuations to Complete Resolution in Pulsatile Tinnitus Following the Modified Sigmoid Sinus Wall Reconstruction Surgical Technique Using Bone Cement” was published on ENT Discovery (published on Apr. 01, 2026).
