Methods From 90 OME cases surgically treated between 2004 and 2008, 45 (82 ears) with complete clinical data were reviewed for their age distribution, hearing loss duration, surgical techniques and pre- and post-operative hearing data. Results The PTA over 500, 1 000, and 4000 Hz improved from 34.8 ± db HL pre-operatively to 15.9 ± 7.88 db HLpost-operativelyt. Post-operative hearing improved in 75 ears(91.5%), remained unchanged in 4 ears and deteriorated in 3 ears. Conclusion Adenoidectomy and ventilation tube placement are basic surgical treatments for OME in children. Tonsillectomy should not be a routine treatment option for pediatric OME patients. Surgical management for OME in children should be individualized.
