Abstract:
Myringotomy with placement of ventilation tubes is the most common pediatric otolaryngologic procedure in the United States. Otorrhea is generally recognized as the most common complication of this procedure. The current study is a three-year prospective evaluation of post tympanostomy otorrhea to determine what variables might be associated with otorrhea. Analysis of patients from a predominantly rural population is presented.
