Balloon Eustachian Tuboplasty: A Systematic Review of Technique, Safety, and Clinical Outcomes in Chronic Obstructive Eustachian Tube Dysfunction. [PDF]

Healthcare (Basel)
Background/Objectives: Obstructive Eustachian tube dysfunction (OETD) is common in adults and may lead to middle-ear conditions such as atelectasis and cholesteatoma. The ETDQ-7 questionnaire is used to assess symptom severity. Balloon dilation of the Eustachian tube (BDET) is a minimally invasive treatment with variable outcomes. This review evaluates
