Hi Thank for asking to HCM.
Success of revision surgery are less as compare to fresh ear surgery. But if it is done by good otologist result will be good . You also need to find out reason for perforation & failure of 1st surgery . If it is due to repeated cold , sinuses problem , throat infection you need to correct first.
Hope above information helpful to you , take care.
