If the tonsils and adenoids are causing eustachian tube dysfunction with middle ear effusion, the need for a ventilation tube at the time of the T&A and myringotomy is unresolved. Thirty-one patients with bilateral symmetrical middle ear effusion had T&A and myringotomies. In one ear, a ventilation tube was inserted; the other ear acted as a control. In addition to the clinical impressions, preoperative and serial postoperative audiograms and tympanograms are compared through a 12-month time frame. Discussion is presented regarding middle ventilation at the time of the primary operation.
如果扁桃体和腺样体导致咽鼓管功能障碍并伴有中耳积液，那么在扁桃体和腺样体切除术（T&A）及鼓膜切开术时是否需要插入通气管仍未解决。31例双侧对称性中耳积液患者接受了扁桃体和腺样体切除术及鼓膜切开术。在一只耳朵中插入了通气管；另一只耳朵作为对照。除了临床观察结果外，还在12个月的时间范围内比较了术前和术后连续的听力图和鼓室图。文中讨论了初次手术时的中耳通气问题。
