The procedure of mastoidectomy and epitympanotomy effected a two-year arrest of serous otitis media and correction of a refractory retraction pocket in 12 out of 20 patients with one patient lost to follow-up. Each mastoid and epitympanum was extensively involved with chronically inflamed tissue which surrounded the ossicles and chorda tympani nerve.
在20例患者中，乳突切除术和上鼓室切开术使12例浆液性中耳炎病情得到了两年的缓解，并纠正了难治性内陷袋，1例患者失访。每个乳突和上鼓室都广泛被慢性炎症组织累及，这些组织围绕着听小骨和鼓索神经。
