Application of endoscopic tympanic tube placement combined with adenoidectomy in the treatment of secretory otitis media in children
Before treating a child with secretory otitis media, it is important to understand the condition of the child. When fluid is present in the middle ear, the first step is to completely remove the fluid from the middle ear and restore ventilation and drainage to the middle ear, as well as restore the mucosal epithelial cilia to the tympanic chamber. It is common to perform tympanic catheterization with the aid of an otoscope, which does not cause damage to the tympanic membrane. The catheter is used to remove the fluid from the middle ear of the child, and when no fluid remains, it facilitates the recovery of the eustachian tube of the child; this treatment method is mainly aimed at removing the fluid, but has less effect on improving the obstruction of the eustachian tube. In recent years, with the improvement of China's medical level, minimally invasive technology has been improved, and adenoidectomy is widely used. In addition to the endoscopic tympanic tube placement program, adenoidectomy is used to quickly remove the fluid from the tympanic cavity of the child, while also resolving the obstruction, ensuring the drainage of the tympanic cavity and the eustachian tube, reducing the chance of reverse infection, and facilitating the recovery of the middle ear function of the child.
