  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

 We reviewed 753 cases of myringotomy and tympanostomy tube insertion in 462 ears during a 3-year-period.

 As the complications, 14 cases showed persistent otorrhea. In four of these cases, otorrhea might be the result of infection through the auditory tube or due to myringostomy, but in the remaining ten cases, post-intubation discharge seemed occured as a result of mucous production from the diseased lining of the middle ear or mastoid. Other complications included chronic perforations in 9 cases, reduced hearing in 2 cases, granulation formation in 3 cases, cholesteatoma in 1 case, and a deep dimple in 1 case.

 In conclusion, tympanostomy tube insertion should not be performed indiscriminately, and the long-term follow-up of patients is necessary for the early detection of complications.
