The author presents a description of a technique he developed called laser office ventilation of ears (LOVE). LOVE, an office-based procedure performed under local anesthesia, can provide intermediate-term ventilation for middle ear disease. This procedure has potential to change the standard of care for otitis media. Such changes might include a decrease in the need for antibiotics (and thus antibiotic resistance), a decrease in hearing loss associated with otitis media, and a decrease in the overall cost of treatment.
作者介绍了一种他开发的名为耳部激光门诊通气术（LOVE）的技术。LOVE是一种在局部麻醉下进行的门诊手术，可为中耳疾病提供中期通气。该手术有可能改变中耳炎的治疗标准。这些改变可能包括减少对抗生素的需求（从而减少抗生素耐药性）、减少与中耳炎相关的听力损失以及降低总体治疗成本。
