Could radiofrequency myringotomy be an alternative to incisional myringotomy?

Radiofrequency myringotomies last longer than incisional myringotomies. With the low complication rate, it is possible to perform this bloodless RF procedure in an office setting. Increased power grade of radiofrequency has no effect on prolonging the myringotomy patency. RFM appears to be a safe and simple procedure that can be used as an alternative to IM.
