Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To compare the effect of two different approaches in curettage of adenoid hypertrophy on eustachian tube function: the endoscopic assisted transoral adenoidectomy, and the traditional transoral curette adenoidectomy.
METHOD:Clinical data of adenoid hypertrophy patients who underwent surgery therapy were prospectively analyzed; Eustachian tube function were compared among them.
RESULT:Both traditional curettage of adenoids through mouth(group TCA) and endoscopic assisted transoral adenoidectomy (group ETA) significantly improved eustachian tube function (P < 0.01), while group ETA seemed to have a better outcomes (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSION:Both traditional curettage of adenoids through mouth and the endoscopic assisted transoral adenoidectomy can significantly improve eustachian tube function, and the endoscopic assisted transoral adenoidectomy produces a better outcome.
