ABSTRACT
Background:
A study on the chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is done.
Materials and Methods:
10 years of gathered material from diagnostics and operative treatment performer on over 186 patients with CSOM (77-epitympanitis and 109-mesotympanitis) is used. For examinations there were applied: medical history, status, audiometry, tympanometry, image diagnostics (X-ray examination, CT, MRI). An oto-endoscope examination was introduced.
Results:
CSOM treatment – over 77 (41.4%) patients were treated with open and closed operative techniques. Very good final functional results of patients’ recovery were obtained in 87.17% at the former and 86.84% at the second ones. The average value of ABG pre/post operation was 27.09 dB/17.42 dB at the operations. 70.09% of the cases show ABG ≤20 dB. In 109 (58.6%) patients reconstructive techniques (tympanoplasty type I, II, III) were performed. The average value of ABG pre/post operation was 24.79 dB/14.06 dB in the plastics done. 95% of the cases show ABG ≤20 dB. CSOM training and experience of our team: internet page www.prootology.domino.bg in ENT specialty and 18 scientific meetings areheld; the 4 cadaver dissections for the otosurgeons were organized.
Conclusions:
The audiological functional results received are comparable with those of leading otosurgeons at home and in the European Union (EU) clinics. A training and qualification is pursued throughout contemporary forms and instruments of education, compatible with the rules and requirements of EU.
