“…The incidence oftympanosclerosis in the drum in which the grommet was inserted was 42c;~with no evidence of such changes in the unoperated ear. The incidence of thin scars at the site of the previous grommet was 13 0 0 , Tympanosclerosis has frequently been recorded following grommets or myringotomy alone (Mawson & Fagan 1972, Mackinnon 1971, Tos & Poulsen 1976. It has been suggested (Mackinnon 1971) that tympanosclerosis is not so much due to the grommet but to the pathological changes associated with the more advanced stage of the disease for which the tube was inserted.…”

The principal therapy for seromucinous otitis media is directed at reestablishing aeration of the middle ear cleft by the use of ventilating tubes, as first advocated by Armstrong (1954). This communication is an analysis of the results of management of seromucinous otitis media in matched pairs of ears by inserting a grommet in one ear and carrying out no operative intervention in the other ear. Acoustic impedance values: The mean readings of the middle ear pressures in the grommet and control ears were very similar in the 55 pairs and fell within the normal range quoted by Brooks

“…A total of 210 ears had tube insertions between the first of April 1987 and the thirty-first of March 1988. Of these 109 (51.9 per cent) were carried out as a second or further procedure; much higher than in other series, which ranged from 12.5-39 per cent (Mackinnon, 1971;Mawson and Fagan, 1972;Pappas, 1974;McLelland, 1980;Curley, 1986) (Table XI and Fig. 3).…”

“…However, their aetiology, pathophysiology and management remain much debated. Viral (Adlington and Davies, 1969) or bacterial (Coffey et al, 1967) infections, allergy (Whitcomb, 1965\Shambaugh, [961, Draper, 1967Perlman, 1948), enlarged adenoids (Mawson and Fagan, 1972;Bluestone and Breery, 1973), malfunctioning Eustachian tube ( Tumarkin, 1961;Silverstein et al, 1966;Tos and Bak-Pedersen, 1973) and degeneration of the middle ear mucosa (Tos and Bak-Pedersen, 1972) have been blamed. Accordingly, there is no unanimity concerning treatment.…”
