Article Abstract:

Children in whom cardiac surgery is performed frequently need mechanical ventilation in the immediate postoperative period. Although this life-supporting modality is critically important in determining the outcome of the procedure, it can lead to debilitating laryngotracheal injury. The most common cause of acquired laryngeal stenosis is endotracheal tube injury, which accounts for approximately 95% of all cases of laryngeal stenosis.

Abstract:

Insertion of ventilation tubes has successfully remedied chronic otitis media with effusion in millions of children, but the procedure has been complicated by secondary infections and otorrhea in as many as 34% of the cases. Because infection at the time of surgery was suspected as the primary cause of these postoperative complications, short-term prophylaxis with antibiotic eardrops was proposed for averting secondary infections. To evaluate this hypothesis, we conducted a 6-month prospective study in which 200 children had bilateral tube insertions. Antibiotic eardrops were administered to patients’ right ears intraoperatively and for 3 days after surgery; left ears received no eardrops and served as controls. The prophylactic strategy did not significantly decrease the incidence of postoperative otorrhea in treated right ears compared with controls.

Abstract:

The results after simultaneous bilateral fat graft myringoplasties in children have not been previously reported in the literature. We report on 28 children who underwent bilateral fat graft myringoplasties as outpatient procedures under general anesthesia. The success rate was 91% at final follow-up, with only 16% of children requiring insertion of pressure-equalizing (PE) tubes following surgery. No complications were documented. We conclude that bilateral fat graft myringoplasties are safe to perform, with an excellent success rate, and are suitable as outpatient procedures.
