“…The mean incidence of otorrhoea in cases with a relatively short ventilation time equalled the mean incidence in cases with tubes that remained in situ longer. A higher perforation rate was found to be associated with a larger number of otorrhoea episodes, removal of the tube and a longer ventilation time in this and other studies 13–16 . Owing to the design of the study (i.e.…”

“…Unfortunately, we were not able to adjust for this difference in Table 4. In addition, some investigators calculated the percentage of persisting perforations by dividing the number of perforations by the total number of inserted tubes, 11–13 whereas the number of perforations should actually be divided by the total number of extruded or removed tubes. This inaccuracy is corrected for in Table 4.…”

Patients with chronic or recurrent otitis media with effusion who do not respond to treatment with conventional ventilation tubes are often treated with long-term ventilation tubes. The aim of this retrospective study was to determine the extrusion and complication rates of long-term ventilation tubes. The median ventilation time of the tubes was 31.5 months. The most common complication was otorrhoea. One episode of otorrhoea occurred after 24% of all tube insertions, and recurrent otorrhoea occurred in 29%. A persisting perforation developed in 19% after extrusion or removal of the tube. Other, mostly minor, complications occurred in 36% with the tube in situ and in 3% after extrusion or removal of the tube. Long-term ventilation tubes provided prolonged ventilation of the middle ear, but also resulted in a considerable number of complications. For each individual case, one should therefore determine whether the advantages of long-term ventilation tubes outweigh the possible complications in view of the available alternatives for middle ear ventilation.

“…A T-tube also can be used as a long-term transtympanic ventilation tube, but it is associated with more frequent complications: otorrhea (35%), perforation after extrusion or removal (19%-24%), and tympanosclerosis (30%). 17,20,23,24 Complication rates rise sharply if transtympanic T-tubes remain in situ for longer than 36 months, leading some authors 11 to suggest elective removal before 36 months. However, Mangat et al 25 reported that surgical removal of tubes results in a much higher perforation rate than does spontaneous extrusion (65% vs 19%).…”

“…Injury to the drum may be iatrogenic from myringotomy and the insertion of ventilation tubes. The incidence of persistent perforation from a long‐staying Goode tube has been reported to be 18.8% 155 . Iatrogenic perforations have also been associated with cerumen removal and hyperbaric oxygen therapy 156,157 …”

The history of otology is the history of the successful treatment of infections of the middle ear and the eardrum. Otologists have sought to restore hearing lost to infections of the eardrum since the 1600s. The development of instruments, techniques, and materials to treat infection is fascinating because of the serendipitous nature of the discoveries and the insight of the discoverers. This historical review describes the history of the treatment of infections of the ear and the development of modern techniques of ear surgery. Two contemporary methods of tympanic membrane repair are then described.
