摘要
One of the most commonly performed surgical procedures is tympanoplasty, the outcome of which is mainly dependent upon the functionality of the eustachian tube (ET). Some investigators have measured the mucociliary function of the ET by using radioisotopes, but they did not correlate their findings to the results of tympanoplasty. In this prospective study, the global function of ET was measured in 15 patients with tympanic membrane perforation, either as a result of chronic otitis media or posttraumatic, by the use of Tc-99m sequential scintigraphy. The results, correlated to the outcome of tympanoplasty, showed a significant difference.
