ABSTRACT

MATERIAL AND METHODS: 361 children at age from 11 months to 18 years with otitis media with effusion (OME) were inspected after tympanostomy during 2013-2018 years. Treatment was carried out in accordance with the stages of OME: secretory, mucous, fibrous. The main diagnostic methods were: otoscopy, tympanometry, endoscopy, computed tomography. Surgical treatment may be required already at the secretory stage of the disease, as well as in all cases with mucous and fibrous stages of OME.

RESULTS: In children with recurrences of OME and in patients with congenital cleft lip and palate, it is preferable to use long-wearing ventilation tubes and balloning of the auditory tubes. The effectiveness of surgical treatment of OME was 97.6%.

CONCLUSION: The authors recommend dispensary observation of patients with OME for 12-24 months.
