Subannular T-tubes for the treatment of adhesive otitis: how we do it.

CONCLUSIONS: The proposed addition of a Silastic disk seems to avoid a new adhesion of the tympanic membrane to the promontory and, therefore, prevents treatment failures. A longer follow-up and a larger case series are needed to prove the efficacy of this surgical variation. Finally, the positioning of SATs can be considered as a valid and safe procedure for the treatment of adhesive otitis. PMID: 29553618 [PubMed]
