Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate the choise of operation approach for chronic otitis media surgery. METHODS Auditory and high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) assessment were carried out prior to the operation in 160 ears with otitis media. Tympanoplasty or mastoidectomy and tympanoplasty were performed. RESULTS Thirty-one patients received tympanoplasty and 129 patients received mastoidectomy and tympanoplasty. Closed and opened surgery were performed in 49 and 80 cases respectively. The ear-drying time ranged from 7 to 51days with an average of 23 days. Mean hearing increased by 15dB. CONCLUSION Assessing the HRCT scan prior to the surgery can help us choose a reasonable approach in chronic otitis media surgery.
