Muco-Ciliary Function of Eustachian Tube in Patients with Tubo Tympanic Disease and its Impact on Surgery

Abstract

Eustachian tube dysfunction is one of the familiar factors foremost to progress of chronic suppurative otitis media. Tube mucociliary transport is chief for removal of the inflammation products from the middle ear enabling recovery of the affected mucosa of the middle ear, local circulation and renewal of normal air pressure in the middle ear. To assess the mucociliary function of the Eustachian tube in patients with tubo tympanic type of chronic suppurative otitis media. To correlate the surgical outcome of chronic suppurative otitis media with Eustachian tube after 3 months of post-operative period. To correlate if any relationship between the mucociliary function of Eustachian tube with nasal allergy. To correlate if any relationship between the mucociliary function of Eustachian tube in patients with tubo tympanic type of chronic suppurative otitis Media with respect to site of perforation and also between the site of perforation and the surgical outcome in patients with chronic suppurative otitis media (Tubo tympanic type).
