¸ñÀû: To introduce a new technique to evaluate the patency of the Eustachian
tube and predict the success of Balloon Eustachian Tuboplasty (BET) for
Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD) patients. ¹æ¹ý:Inflate the balloon in the Eustachian tube, inject 0.1~0.3cc of
dexamethasone into the balloon lumen, and at the same time check the air
fluid level of the ipsilateral middle ear cavity with an otoscope.
Preoperative and postoperative changes were evaluated as surgical
outcomes using Eustachian Tube Dysfunction Questionnaire (ETDQ-7) and
Valsalva maneuver. °á°ú:The dexamethasone irrigation with BET technique was technically
successful in all patients. The mean ETDQ-7 score was 3.11
preoperatively, which decreased to 2.27 at 1 month and 1.75 at 3 months,
respectively. At 3 months after surgery, Valsalva maneuver was possible
in 15 of 18 ears (83.33%). °á·Ð:The dexamethasone irrigation with BET technique obtained significant
improvement in subjective(ETDQ-7) and objective(Valsalva maneuver)
surgical outcomes in ETD patients. This technique is a simple, safe and
effective method to improve the outcome of BET surgery in ETD patients. |
