Prognostic value of the Eustachian tube function test remains controversial. To prevent ear drum adhesion or the recurrence of cholesteatoma it is important to select cases with severe organic obstruction of the Eustachian tube and to use surgical procedures to restore function. We summarize here the indications and the surgical procedure for organic obstruction of the Eustachian tube, especially in the region of the tympanic orifice. Adequate preoperative evaluation of Eustachian tube function and pertinent surgical procedures will pave the way for a better prognosis for patients subjected to ear surgery.
咽鼓管功能测试的预后价值仍存在争议。为预防鼓膜粘连或胆脂瘤复发，选择咽鼓管存在严重器质性阻塞的病例并采用手术方法恢复其功能很重要。我们在此总结咽鼓管器质性阻塞，尤其是鼓膜开口处阻塞的手术适应症及手术方法。对咽鼓管功能进行充分的术前评估并采用相关手术方法，将为接受耳部手术的患者带来更好的预后。
