Application of ear endoscope in the treatment of secretory otitis media in children with ineffective drug therapy

Abstract

Objective To investigate the application of ear endoscope in the treatment of secretory otitis media in children with ineffective drug therapy. Methods 80 secretory otitis media children with ineffective drug therapy were selected as the research subjects.According to the random number table method, all patients were divided into treatment group and control group, 40 cases in each group.The observation group received otoendoscopic tympanic membrane tube surgery treatment, the control group received auripucture with otic endoscope surgery treatment.The complications of the two groups were observed, and the clinical curative effect and postoperative recurrence were compared. Results The recurrence rate of the observation group was 5.00%, which was significantly lower than 20.00% of the control group (χ2=4.114, P=0.042). The middle ear effusion time of the observation group was (8.53±1.25)d, which was significantly shorter than (10.46±1.44)d of the control group (t=5.074, P=0.000). In the observation group, 37 patients after treatment had change, the total effective rate was 92.50%.In the control group, 28 patients after treatment had change, the total effective rate was 70.00%, the total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (χ2=6.646, P=0.009). The incidence rate of complication in the observation group was 7.50%, which was significantly lower than 32.50% in the control group (χ2=7.812, P=0.005). Conclusion Tympanostomy tube under ear endoscope surgery for the treatment of drug refractory secretory otitis media in children has good effect, the recurrence rate is relatively lower, has less complications, high safety, it is worthy of clinical application.
