Abstract

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of tympanostomy tube insertion with adenoidectomy for children with recurrent otitis media with effusion. Method:One hundred and twenty-six cases of children with recurrent otitis media were randomly divided into observation group and control group(63 in each group), subsequently compared the therapeutic effect of the two groups which observation group had tympanostomy tube insertion with adenoidectomy and the other group had only tympanostomy tube insertion. Result:In terms of the total effective rate,observation group and control group were 96.82% and 76.19% respectively, the difference had statistical significant(P<0.05);compared to control group, the recurrent rate of observation group after treatment was extremely lower, the same as middle ear cavity effusion time, which both had statistical significance (P<0.05); the complete healing time of two groups had no statistical significance(P>0.05). Conclusion:Tympanostomy tube insertion with adenoidectomy has significant treatment effect for children with recurrent otitis media with effusion, it could reduce the recurrent rate after surgery and shorten the time of middle ear cavity effusion.
