Opening Plugged Tympanostomy Tubes

The Laryngoscope, 2002
AbstractObjective To determine the most effective solvents for dissolving plugged tympanostomy tubes.Study Design In vitro laboratory study.Methods Twelve solvents (including ototopical antibiotics and water) were applied to fluoroplastic tympanostomy tubes (n = 260) plugged with dried mucoid middle ear effusion in an ear canal–tympanic membrane model.

Tympanostomy tubes and otic drops

The Laryngoscope, 1983
AbstractOtic drops have been proposed as a form of prophylaxis against the otitis media which follows middle ear contamination by water in patients with tympanostomy tubes. The potential adverse effects of this form of therapy were studied in chinchillas with tympanostomy tubes; 31 chinchillas underwent bilateral tympanostomy tube insertion.

Tympanostomy tubes: Experience with removal

The Laryngoscope, 1993
Whereas the clinical indications for tympanostomy tube placement are well-established, the indications for operative tympanostomy tube removal remain unspecified. A 1-year retrospective review done at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary revealed 131 tympanostomy tubes to have been removed under general anesthesia.

WHY DO TYMPANOSTOMY TUBES BLOCK?

Clinical Otolaryngology, 1988
One hundred extruded Shah tympanostomy tubes were recovered from the ears of children following surgical treatment of otitis media with effusion. They were examined both macroscopically and microscopically for the presence of luminal blockage. The lumen was blocked by eosinophilic material with a polymorphonuclear leucocyte infiltrate in 56% of cases ...

Tympanic Membrane Perforations and Tympanostomy Tubes

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1994
Tympanoplasty and tympanostomy tubes were developed at the same time and have dramatically changed the treatment of chronic middle ear disease. One hundred forty-nine children who had tubes inserted between ages 6 months and 8 years for chronic otitis media with effusion have been prospectively followed up for an average of 4 years.
