Abstract:Objective For patients with delayed open eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) with chronic suppurative otitis media, on the basis of middle ear mastoid surgery, combined with otoendoscopic eustachian tube tympanic orifice balloon dilatation, to explore the effectiveness of otoendoscopic treatment.Methods 50 patients with delayed open ETD with chronic suppurative otitis media who came to the hospital from February 2016 to February 2021 were randomly divided into observation group and control group, with 25 cases in each group. The observation group was treated with middle ear mastoid surgery combined with endoscopic eustachian tube tympanic balloon dilatation; The control group was treated with middle ear mastoid surgery combined with nasal endoscopic eustachian tube pharyngeal balloon dilatation. The scores of the seven-item eustachian tube dysfunction questionnaire (ETDQ-7) were compared between the two groups before operation and one year after operation; The recurrence rates of chronic suppurative otitis media and delayed open ETD were compared.Results The ETDQ-7 score was statistically significantly in the two groups before and 1 year after surgery (P < 0.05); The drainage of mastoid cavity was unobstructed and there was no purulent exudate after operation in the observation group; One year after operation, the recurrence rates in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05).Conclusion For patients with delayed open ETD with chronic suppurative otitis media, on the basis of middle ear mastoid surgery, combined with otoendoscopic eustachian tube tympanic balloon dilatation can increase safety factor, have lower postoperative recurrence rate and better postoperative effect than nasal endoscopic eustachian tube tympanic balloon dilatation. Therefore, if possible, middle ear mastoid surgery combined with otoendoscopic eustachian tube tympanic balloon dilatation in patients with delayed open ETD with chronic suppurative otitis media is a treatment method, which is worthy of popularization.
