Histopathology of balloon-dilation Eustachian tuboplasty.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Surgical intervention of the Eustachian tube (ET) has become increasingly common in the past decade, and balloon dilation has shown promising results in recent studies. It is unclear how balloon dilation enhances ET function. Our aim was to evaluate histological changes in the ET's mucosal lumen comparing before balloon dilation, immediately after, and postoperatively. S...
متن کاملEndoscopy Guided Eustachian Tube Balloon Dilation: Our Experiences
Introduction: Eustachian tube (ET) dysfunction is a common clinical entity but its treatment is still challenging to Otorhinolaryngologists. This study is done to know the effectiveness of transnasal endoscopic balloon dilatation of eustachian tube for treatment of chronic eustachian tube dysfunction.

The key to its diagnosis and management is in identifying the aetiology and exact pathophysiology of the dysfunction. DESIGN We present our retrospective 5-year results for the technique of transnasal endoscopic balloon dilatation of the cartilaginous part of the Eustachian tube, ba...
متن کاملBalloon tuboplasty in patients with Eustachian tube dysfunction: a prospective study in 39 patients (55 ears).
Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is estimated to affect approximately 1% of the UK population. ETD and subsequent inadequate middle ear ventilation have been implicated in the pathogenesis of otological diseases including otitis media with effusion (OME), retraction pockets, tympanic membrane (TM) perforation and cholesteatoma. Patients may present with vague, non-specific symptoms including a...
متن کاملBalloon dilation of the eustachian tube: a tympanometric outcomes analysis
BACKGROUND Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is a common medical issue, occurring in at least 1% of the adult population. Patients suffering from ET dysfunction typically present with complaints of hearing loss or sensation of pressure or plugged ear, which can lead to impaired quality of life. Over time ETD can result in conductive hearing loss or choleastatoma formation. Effective theraputic ...
