https://doi.org/10.51922/1818-426X.2022.4.20

Abstract

Acute and chronic otitis media remain the leading causes of conductive hearing loss. Every second child by the age of 3 years and by the age of 5 years up to 70 % of children had acute otitis media. Chronic otitis media with effusion is detected during mass examinations of children aged from 2 to 7 years in 30.2 % of cases. The starting point in the development of otitis media with effusion both acute and chronic forms is a violation of the ventilation and drainage functions of the auditory tube. Elimination of effusion from the tympanic cavity after nasopharynx therapy and rehabilitation of the function of the auditory tube occurs in 75 % of cases. Tympanostomy is indicated where the function of the auditory tube is not restored after adenotomy or conservative treatment. Tympanostomy is widely introduced as a method of surgical treatment for otitis media with effusion both acute and chronic forms in a number of countries. However, there is no consensus on the method of intervention and further management of patients among specialists. The article provides an overview of the opinions and results of tympanostomy using in case of otitis media with effusion in children.
