ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate efficacy of tympanic membrane PE tube placement combined with oral endoscopic adenoidectomy in treating otitis media with effusion(OME) in children. Methods:Selected 87 cases(102ears)patients of secretory otitis media as research subjects between January 2012 to August 2014, in department of Otolaryngology in Heilongjiang Province, randomly divided into observation group(45cases, 55ears) and control group(42cases, 47ears),observation group used tympanostomy tube siphon drainage method combined with adenoidectomy for treatment, control group alone tympanostomy tube siphon drainage therapy, postoperative complications recorded data of patients later from the hospital after six and twelve months. Results:Two groups of patients after six months treatment and after twelve months(x2=5.705, x2=7.460;P<0.05), the results were statistically significant(P<0.05);in the middle ear effusion time, recurrent ear number, the number of ear infections, the results were also statistically significant(t=7.662, x2=4.197, x2=4.752;P<0.05). Conclusion:Under the ear drum using endoscopic drainage siphon tube method combined with adenoidectomy can effectively reduce postoperative complications in patients with quick, injury, etc, with high short-term and long-term efficacy, worthy application.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the clinical effects of invasive and non-invasive therapy in treatment of otitis media with effusion. Methods Seventy-six patients (94 ears) with otitis media with effusion were divided into two groups by random digits table. The invasive group (38 cases, 48 ears) was treated by oto-endoscopic myringotomy and grommet insertion and chymotrypsin with dexamethasone washing for 1-2 times; and the non-invasive group (38 cases, 46 ears) was treated by eustachian tube blowing under nasal endoscopy and injecting chymotrypsin and dexamethasone for 1-2 times. The clinical effects between the two groups were compared. Results The patients were followed up for 6-12 months. The total effective rate was 95.8%(46/48) in the invasive group and 93.5%(43/46) in the non-invasive group, the difference was not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05 ). The ear pressure chart recovery time was (37.5 ± 5.9) d in the invasive group and (38.6 ± 6.1 ) d in the non-invasive group, the difference was not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05 ). The pure tone audiometry hearing improved ( 20.4 ± 2.7 ) dB in the invasive group and ( 19.9 ±2.5) dB in the non-invasive group, the difference was not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05 ). Conclusion Both of invasive and non-invasive therapy in treatment of otitis media with effusion have good results, the doctors should choose the appropriate solution according to the patients' condition.
