title: The surgical treatment of secretory otitis media in children.
abstract: Two groups of children with secretory otitis media, 100 in each group, were followed after treatment. The first group was treated with adenoidectomy only, the second group was treated with adenoidectomy and bilateral myringotomies with insertion of grommets. The difference in results between the two treatments was found to be statistically not significant.
