Summary: This study compares simultaneous and sequential surgeries for tympanoplasty and adenoidectomy in pediatric patients. The results show that simultaneous surgery can achieve clinical outcomes comparable to sequential surgery and reduce the consumption of medical resources.

Summary: The objective of this study was to explore diet patterns in children with tympanostomy tube placement (TTP) complicated by postoperative tympanostomy tube otorrhea. The study included caregivers of children (0-12 years old) who underwent TTP within 6 months to 2 years prior to enrollment. The results showed that children who consumed dessert at least two times per week had a higher risk of otorrhea compared to children who consumed one time per week or less.

Summary: Removing adenoids during a second tympanostomy procedure in children under 4 years of age is associated with a reduced incidence of requiring a third set of ear tubes later in childhood.

Summary: The type of ventilation tube, patient age, and effusion composition can affect the extrusion rate and recurrence rate of the tube.

Summary: This study examined the effects of different types of tympanostomy tubes in pediatric patients undergoing cleft palate surgery. The results showed that the Paparella type 1 tube was more effective in palatoplasty surgeries with lower recurrence rates, while the Paparella type 2 tube was associated with a higher risk of persistent eardrum perforation. For other surgeries, a larger size type 2 tube may be considered to reduce the frequency of recurrence and tube reinsertion.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the presence of temporary threshold shifts (TTS) in children who have undergone intraoperative auditory brainstem response (ioABR) testing and to use prolonged latencies of wave I as an indicator of persisting air-bone gap. A total of 83 children who underwent ioABR at University Hospital Bonn, Germany, were included in the study. The results showed a higher risk of prolonged latency of wave I at 80-dB SPL in children with mucoid fluid compared to those without mucoid fluid. Therefore, caution should be exercised when interpreting ioABR results, taking into account sex differences, and verifying the findings. Preoperative discussion involving parents should consider postponing ioABR testing if mucoid fluid is present.

Summary: The study found that more than one-fourth of patients with otitis media experienced recurrence after tympanostomy tube insertion. A shorter tympanostomy tube extrusion time was associated with a higher recurrence rate, while smaller tubes increased the likelihood of early extrusion.

Summary: This study found that a greater number of AOM episodes diagnosed at primary care was associated with tube placement. Older age at first AOM diagnosis was associated with postoperative otorrhea and additional tube placement. Additionally, postoperative otorrhea was more common among patients who first received an AOM diagnosis in the spring, summer, and fall seasons.

Summary: This study analyzed the results of two commonly selected tube insert positions for children with Otitis media with effusion (OME) and found that insertion in the posteroinferior quadrant (PQ) provided better outcomes. Compared to insertion in the anteroinferior quadrant (AQ), PQ insertion was more stable, improved hearing more effectively, and was more convenient for surgeons.

Summary: Otitis media is a common middle ear disorder that often affects infants and children. Treatment options include antibiotics, decongestants, myringotomy, and tympanostomy tubes. The choice of a tympanostomy tube depends on factors like age, ventilation needs, socioeconomic status, and eardrum condition. It is important to select the appropriate tube to provide optimal treatment and limit complications for children with recurrent otitis media.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of pediatric otolaryngologists and APP-led clinics on the management of children with recurrent acute otitis media. The results showed that children seen by APPs had shorter wait times and patients seen by otolaryngologists tended to have more medical complexity.

Summary: A 46-year-old man with eosinophilic otitis media and eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis presented with symptoms of earache, clogged ears, and otorrhea. Surgical intervention was performed to remove a cholesterol granuloma and insert a large ventilation tube, resulting in symptom improvement.

Summary: This study investigated the rate of tympanostomy tube (TT) placement in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the United States and explored potential factors associated with this rate. The results showed that children with ASD had a higher rate of TT placement compared to children without ASD. Possible reasons for this increased rate include higher infection rates in ASD, over-diagnosis of ear infection or hearing disability in a difficult-to-examine population, and a preference for aggressive treatment in this at-risk group.

Summary: The study found that about one in four children who received TT placements will receive at least one repeat set of TT, and about one in fourteen children will receive multiple repeat sets. Concurrent adenoidectomy and long-term tubes can reduce the incidence of repeat TT placements, while younger age and earlier extrusion of the initial set are associated with an increased risk of repeat surgery.
