Abstract
Otitis media is recognized as one of the most common diseases of childhood. Insertion of tympanostomy tubes for the treatment of otitis media is the most frequently performed otologic operation, and postoperative otorrhea is its most common complication. Many authors have suggested various reasons for posttympanostomy otorrhea, and many different prophylactic treatments were proposed in recent years to prevent this bothersome and frustrating complication. This retrospective study was designed to investigate and compare the efficacy of various prophylactic treatments and to define the most effective method of reducing the rate of postoperative otorrhea.
