Optimal Eustachian Tube Plugging Method for Patulous Eustachian Tube Disorder.
Introduction: Patulous Eustachian tube disorder (PET) causes disabling symptoms due to abnormal tubal patency. Eustachian tube plugging is a surgical option, but the optimal surgical position and plug material remain undetermined. To evaluate the success rate and complications of Eustachian tube plugging according to surgical position (sitting vs. supine) and plug material (silicone vs. angiocatheter).
Methods: This retrospective study included 50 ears from 42 patients who underwent Eustachian tube plugging between May 2019 and May 2025. Surgical outcomes and complications were assessed up to 3 months postoperatively.
Results: The overall complete remission (CR) rate was 70.0%, and 88.0% of patients experienced clinical improvement. Obstructive Eustachian tube dysfunction occurred in 14.6% of ears, exclusively in CR cases. No tympanic membrane perforation was observed. The sitting position showed a higher CR rate (80.0%) compared to supine (60.0%) in short-term outcome.
Conclusion: Sitting-position surgery may improve CR outcomes due to real-time symptom feedback. Angiocatheters are effective but prone to extrusion. Plugging is a promising procedure for PET with a favourable safety profile.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Otolaryngology is a bimonthly journal devoted to clinically-oriented research papers of the highest scientific standards dealing with:
current otorhinolaryngological practice
audiology, otology, balance, rhinology, larynx, voice and paediatric ORL
head and neck oncology
head and neck plastic and reconstructive surgery
continuing medical education and ORL training
The emphasis is on high quality new work in the clinical field and on fresh, original research.
Each issue begins with an editorial expressing the personal opinions of an individual with a particular knowledge of a chosen subject. The main body of each issue is then devoted to original papers carrying important results for those working in the field. In addition, topical review articles are published discussing a particular subject in depth, including not only the opinions of the author but also any controversies surrounding the subject.
• Negative/null results
In order for research to advance, negative results, which often make a valuable contribution to the field, should be published. However, articles containing negative or null results are frequently not considered for publication or rejected by journals. We welcome papers of this kind, where appropriate and valid power calculations are included that give confidence that a negative result can be relied upon.
