About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Otitis Media With Effusion focused on measuring adenoidectomy, myringotomy, tubes insertion, otitis media, adenoid hyperthophy

Eligibility Criteria

3 Years - 12 Years (Child)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • children operated for their adenoid hyperthrophy with an adenoid size of 3 (measured in a scale of 1-3 intraoperatively or from lateral neck x-ray) and otitis media with effusion causing an average air-bone gap of greater than 20db. Children should be otherwise healthy with an ASA score of I and between 3-12 years old of age

Exclusion Criteria:

  • other health problems especially related with the condition eg cleft palate

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
It is not unusual for several children operated for severe adenoid hyperthrophy causing breathing problems to have otitis media with effusion simultaneously. It is unknown whether adenoidectomy, myringotomy and tubes insertion is superior to adenoidectomy and myringotomy alone in terms of otitis media related quality of life and recurrence of otitis media several months after the operation. For this purpose a randomized trial is conducted including children operated for adenoid hyperthrophy and whose otitis media with effusion had caused minimal or no symptoms so far
