ABSTRACT
CONCLUSION:
BDET might be effective for the patients with OME, and proved to be an efficacious and mini-invasive treatment for OME.OBJECTIVES:
To evaluate the therapeutic benefits of balloon dilation eustachian tuboplasty (BDET) in the treatment of adult patients with otitis media with effusion (OME) caused by eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD).METHODS:
After informed consent, eight adult patients with OME were included in this study. After investigated patients' case history and oto-function, all patients underwent BDET treatment. Then four criteria including tympanic membrane, pure tone audiometry (PTA), tympanometry, and subjective symptoms were adopted to evaluate the therapeutic benefits of BDET.RESULTS:
None of the involved patients complained of problems or complications during the post-operative period, or with absence of pain and bleeding after the operation. Prominent post-operative improvement was observed in tympanic membrane and otoscopic appearance. In addition, cure rates after 3 months and 6 months post-operatively were gradually increased.Palavras-chave
