摘要：Objective:To report outcomes of balloon dilation Eustachian tuboplasty combined with tympanostomy tube insertion and middle ear pressure equalization therapy in treatment of recurrent secretory otitis media.Methods:Fifty one patients with recurrent secretory otitis media (62 ears) underwent balloon dilation of Eustachian tube and tympanic tube insertion under general anesthesia,followed by long term middle ear pressure equalization therapies.The Eustachian tube score (ETS) and Eustachian tube function questionnaire (ETDQ-7) were used for pre-and postoperative (up to 12 months) evaluation of Eustachian tube functions.Results:The mean ETS score was 2.34 ± 0.97 preoperatively,and 6.17 ± 1.54,7.23 ± 1.62,8.24 ± 1.97,and 7.63 ± 1.86at 1,3,6 and 12 months postoperatively,respectively (P＜ 0.05).The ETDQ-7 score was 4.82 ± 1.07 preoperatively,and 2,20 ± 0.54,2.32 ± 0.68,2.53 ± 0.79,and 2.67 ± 0.76 at 1,3,6 and 12 months postoperatively,respectively (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:Balloon dilation of Eustachian tube combined with tympanostomy and catheterization resulted in significant improvement of subjective symptoms and objective evaluation of Eustachian tube functions in most patients with recurrent secretory otitis media,as indicated by the ETS and ETDQ-7 scores,demonstrating high levels of efficacy and patient satisfaction.
