The tube placement surgery for secretory otitis media may lead to middle ear infection, tympanic membrane perforation and secondary cholesteatoma of the middle ear.
1. The existence of the ventilation tube after the tube placement surgery can lead to direct communication between the middle ear cavity and the outside world, which can easily lead to the invasion of pathogens from the outside world into the middle ear through the ventilation tube, which will further increase the incidence of infectious diseases in the middle ear canal.
2. The ventilation tube is a foreign body to the human body, and its prolonged presence in the ear can cause infection, as well as the formation of granulation and scar tissue, which affects the self-repair of the tympanic membrane after the tube is pulled out, and may cause residual tympanic membrane perforation.
3. Secondary cholesteatoma of the middle ear: perforation of the eardrum, scar healing and gradual invagination of the epithelium of the ear canal, encapsulation, accumulation, the formation of cholesteatoma of the middle ear.
Secretory otitis media tube placement surgery need to consult a regular hospital otorhinolaryngology, follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
