OBJECTIVE:
Systematic reviews and Meta-analysis were conducted to assess the efficacy and security of adenoidectomy for the treatment of otitis media with effusion in children.
METHOD:
Based on the principles and methods of Cochrane systematic reviews, literature was searched in PubMed, Medline, Elisevier, Ovid, CBM, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang datebases. Randomized controlled trials about treatment of otitis media with effusion in children using adenoidectomy were included. Meta-analysis was performed for the result of homogeneous studies using RevMan 5.2 software.
RESULT:
Adenoidectomy (combined with myringotomy or puncture) was superior to non-surgical (combined with myringotomy or puncture) treatment in reducing the incidence of acute otitis media and removing the middle ear effusion. Adenoidectomy combined with tympanostomy tube was superior to tympanostomy tube alone in the removal of the middle ear effusion and improvement of hearing level. Three trials described some postoperative complications including haemorrhage, incipient malignant hyperthermia, postoperative pneumonia and velopharyngeal insufficiency.
CONCLUSION
Our research shows a benefit of adenoidectomy in the removal of middle ear effusion in children with OME. Adenoidectomy combined with tympanostomy tube was superior to tympanostomy tube alone in improving hearing level. At present, there is no evidence of serious postoperative complications after adenoidectomy.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the effect of tympanostomy tube surgery in cleft palate children with secretory otitis media (SOM).
METHOD:
Cleft palate children complicated by SOM accepted palatoplasty combined tympanostomy tube surgery, and evaluated by tympanum examination, acoustic immittance measurement in the post-operation. The others with suited age constitute, who accepted palatoplasty only,received the same testing too.
RESULT:
Compared with children who accepted palatoplasty only,the correlated index of SOM in post-operation of children who accepted palatoplasty combined with tympanostomy tube surgery had more improvements,there was a statistically significant difference between them. The recovery degree of middle ear function in younger group was better than elder group,there was a statistically significant difference between them.
CONCLUSION
Tympanostomy tube surgery is helpful to increase cure rate of 0ME in children with cleft palate. The younger the patient is,the better the recovery degree of middle ear function will be. Palatoplasty combined with tympanostomy tube surgery should be an effective way in the management of cleft palate complicated by SOM, and good effect could be obtained when children accepted operation in early stage.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the mastoidectomy and ventilation tube placement for refractory secretory otitis media of clinical efficacy and mechanism.
METHOD:
Retrospective analysis of 22 patients (33 ears) in refractory secretory otitis media, all patients treated by ventilation tube placement have 3 or more than 3 times, but not significantly alleviate the symptoms. Mastoid surgery and ventilation tube placement were basic surgical management. Tympanic membrane ventilation tube was pulled out at 3 to 6 months.
RESULT:
Twenty-two patients perceived improvement of hearing after surgery, ear fullness disappeared; tympanic membrane was gray, no significant tympanic membrane mobility is limited; 33 ears conductive hearing loss, air-bone gap(13.54 +/- 4.86) dB; after 29 ears tympanograms showed A-type, 4 ears for C-type, 30 ears appear ipsilateral acoustic reflex.
CONCLUSION
For 3 or more than 3 times repeated ventilation tube insertion, patients more than 2 years of refractory secretory otitis media were treated with mastoidectomy and ventilation tube placement, it was satisfied that ears lesions were cleaned and expanded middle ear and mastoid air cell volume, good drainage of the tympanic membrane ventilation tube.

Objective: To investigate the middle ear function of the patients with cleft palate pre and post palatoplasty. Methods: 76 patients with cleft palate were investigated by clinical history and audiology examinations including electric otoscopy,tympanometry and click-ABR threshold. Results: The risk for middle ear function decreased with advancing age in the first 5 years. It was noticed that the otologic outcomes was related to the CP type. During long time follow-up, the frequency with the middle ear function disorder was always high within the CP patients but the proportion of the patients received tympanostomy tubes was low relatively. The prevalence of middle ear dysfunction did not differ with the time of cleft palate repair. Conclusion: The patients with cleft palate have middle ear function dysfunction in a long period of time,therefore a standard long-time follow-up system is necessary.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the appropriate time to take out T tube, long-term effect and adverse consequence of children with chronic otitis media subjected to adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy plus tympanostomy.
METHOD:
One hundred and eighteen children with 226 ears operated were analyzed and summarized.
RESULT:
T tubes taken out at 1, 3, 6 and 12 month were 6, 102, 88 and 23 ears, respectively, and T-tubes were not taken out in 7 ears.
CONCLUSION
At present, the treatment is curable and reliable with fewer complications. The appropriate time to take out the T-tube should be 3 months after the operation.

OBJECTIVE:
To propose the concept of rhinogenic otitis media and explore its pathomechanism through analyzing the diagnosis and treatment on secretory otitis media caused by unhealthy nasal cavity structure.
METHOD:
Conservative treatment and correlative operation under nasoscope were undertaken in 176 otitis media patients with unhealthy nasal cavity structure.
RESULT:
Of 176 cases, 156 cases recovered completely (88.64%), 18 cases got effective treatment (10.23%), and 2 cases got ineffective treatment (1.14%).
CONCLUSION
One important cause of the secretory otitis media is unhealthy nasal cavity structure, so correcting the unhealthy nasal cavity structure is the main ways to treat rhinogenic otitis media.
