A retrospective study of 249 children with secretory otitis media is presented. Recurrence rates and complications encountered are recorded. In cases of unilateral secretory otitis media, it is recommended that a grommet should not be inserted in the second (dry) ear, as the chance of fluid occurring in that ear later was only 0-12 per cent. When both ears are found to be dry, again it is recommended that grommets should not be inserted, as the chances of grommet insertion becoming necessary later were only 5.5 per cent. It is concluded that myringotomy, with or without grommets, is a beneficial operation with minimal complications.
本文对249例分泌性中耳炎患儿进行了回顾性研究。记录了复发率及所遇到的并发症。对于单侧分泌性中耳炎病例，建议不要在另一侧（无积液的）耳朵插入通气管，因为该侧耳朵随后出现积液的几率仅为0%至12%。当发现双耳均无积液时，同样建议不要插入通气管，因为之后有必要插入通气管的几率仅为5.5%。得出的结论是，鼓膜切开术，无论是否插入通气管，都是一种并发症极少的有益手术。
