Abstract
Background and Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the surgical outcomes of revision operation due to recurrence of non-cholesteatomatous chronic otitis media (COM) surgery cases.Subjects and Method From 1989 to 2018, 5197 cases of COM surgery were performed at Kangdong and Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital. Among them, clinical data of 297 subjects who had undergone revision tympanoplasty and/or mastoidectomy for recurrent noncholesteatomatous COM were retrospectively collected from computerized database of middle ear surgery (Korean Otological Society program 2005). Each case was categorized by surgical approaches into canal wall down mastoidectomy (CWDM), canal wall up mastoidectomy (CWUM), or tympanoplasty only groups.Results Tympanoplasty only was performed in 170 cases, CWDM in 74 cases, and CMUM in 53 cases. Postoperative perforation occurred in 9.4% of total cases, and less frequently in CMDM compared with tympanoplasty only (p=0.023), and CMUM (p=0.049), respectively, whereas no differences between tympanoplasty only and CMUM (p=0.930) were found. Postoperative infection rate was 1.0% and did not show any differences among the groups. Postoperative successful hearing was obtained in 66.7% of total cases, and the success rate of tympanoplasty only was better than that of CMDM (p=0.001), and CMUM (p=0.011). And, that of CMUM was better than that of CMDM (p=0.011).Conclusion The results showed that postoperative perforation occurred less frequently in CMDM than in tympanoplasty only and in CWUM; successful hearing was achieved more frequently in tympanoplasty alone than in the other surgical approaches in recurrent non-cholesteatomatous COM.Keywords
