From 1972 to 1974, 736 children had tympanostomy tubes inserted for chronic serous otitis media resistant to medical therapy. The total number of ears involved was 2,237. The cleft palate patients constituted 8.8% of the total and had 15.4% of all procedures. Patients with allergy comprised 19% of the total population and had a higher incidence of otitis media following tube insertion. Adenoidectomy was performed in 44% of all patients and 35% of these required further tube insertions, suggesting that adenoidectomy in combination with tube insertion is not necessarily the primary treatment of choice. Children under six made up 78.5% of the total. The most common complication, a draining ear with an incidence of 15.1% was treated successfully with aqueous Merthiolate irrigations. There were 14 tympanic membrane perforations.
1972年至1974年期间，736名儿童因药物治疗无效的慢性浆液性中耳炎而插入了鼓膜造孔管。受累耳朵总数为2237只。腭裂患者占总数的8.8%，接受了所有手术的15.4%。过敏患者占总人口的19%，插管后中耳炎发病率更高。44%的患者进行了腺样体切除术，其中35%的患者需要进一步插管，这表明腺样体切除术联合插管不一定是首选的主要治疗方法。6岁以下儿童占总数的78.5%。最常见的并发症是耳漏，发生率为15.1%，用硫柳汞水溶液冲洗治疗成功。有14例鼓膜穿孔。
