Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The results of a retrospective study of the effect and outcome of middle ear ventilation by Goode's tubes are presented. 83 ears from 50 patients were analyzed both as a group and in age-related sub-groups over a mean follow-up period of 1.83 years. The mean period of ventilation by Goode's tubes before removal or extrusion was 18.4 months. The tubes became infected in 70.4% and were spontaneously extruded in 44.9% of patients. Permanent perforation of the tympanic membrane ensued in 47.5% of patients and significantly more often in those aged between 10 and 20 years (P less than 0.002). Patients aged less than 10 years were significantly less likely to develop a retraction of their tympanic membranes after removal of the Goode's tube than those older (P less than 0.02). No significant relationship was found between the development of these complications and the period of ventilation, past experience of otitis media, consistency of effusion, degree of tympanosclerosis or the preoperative presence of tympanic retraction. |
