Adenoidectomy is a recommended treatment for otitis media with effusion (OME). This work up-dates a previous report and includes a larger number of 155 cases. Surgery has been allocated at random with a control non-adenoidectomy group. The study is prospective and allows for a wide variety of variables. These include age, sex, adenoid size, seasonal variation, observer accuracy, and spontaneous resolution. Adenoidectomy results in clearance of OME even one year following operation in 31-45% of cases. Clearance is related to the duration of history of hearing loss though this may reflect on age effect. Tonsillectomy provides no additional benefit.
腺样体切除术是治疗分泌性中耳炎（OME）的推荐方法。这项研究更新了之前的报告，纳入了更多数量的155例病例。手术被随机分配到一个非腺样体切除术的对照组。该研究是前瞻性的，考虑了多种变量。这些变量包括年龄、性别、腺样体大小、季节变化、观察者的准确性以及自然缓解情况。腺样体切除术后，即使在术后一年，仍有31%至45%的病例中耳积液得以清除。积液清除与听力损失病史的时长有关，尽管这可能反映了年龄因素的影响。扁桃体切除术并无额外益处。
