We used 3 drops of topical Cyprofloxacin in right ear and considered left ear as control. All patients were examined for Otorrhea two weeks after surgery. Results: Total Otorrhea rate was 2.04%. This rate was 0 and 4.08 percent in right and left (control) ears, respectively. This difference was not statistically significant.
