abstract
abstract background: the children with middle ear effusion need repeated re-tympanostomies. adenoidectomy is an effective surgical intervention in the management of chronic otitis media with effusion in conjunction with in-sertion of tympanostomy tubes (tts). to find out whether tts in different positions decrease the rate of re-tympanostomies study was done. methods: the present study retrospectively evaluated the effectiveness of adenoidectomy on retention of shepard tts in antero-inferior quadrant (aiq) and postero-inferior quadrant (piq) with chronic, persistent or recurrent otitis media. eighty-five children (one-hundred and seventy ears) underwent bilateral myringotomy and tts placement with and without adenoidectomy with informed consent. results: according to the tts retention duration rate, there was a significant difference between adenoidec-tomy and non-adenoidectomy groups in aiq. conclusion: it was concluded that tts placement in the aiq in conjunction with adenoidectomy showed better improvement and prolonged ventilation. this study suggests that adenoidectomy is an effective surgical intervention in the management of otitis media especially when it is performed in conjunction with insertion of tts. this significantly decreases tube extrusion rate especially in an aiq, which might be due to improving eustachian tube function that consequently reduces repeated otitis media.

BACKGROUND Otitis media is the most common medical problem in young children. The usual surgical treatment is myringotomy with insertion of tympanostomy tubes. There is debate about the usefulness of concomitant adenoidectomy or adenotonsillectomy. We examined the effects of these adjuvant procedures on the rates of reinsertion of tympanostomy tubes and rehospitalization for conditions related ...

[Tympanostomy tubes and water].
OBJECTIVE An in vitro study was conducted to set the necessary pressure in fluids that could break resistance and cross the opening of a tympanostomy tube. METHODS A water column model was created and graduated in centimeters from base to top. We adapted three sorts of tympanostomy tubes. In each model, fluids were tested (tap water, seawater, river water, soapy water and eardrops). The colum...
