[Prognostic value of tubo-tympanic mucociliary clearance in surgery of chronic otitis media].
The AA. have studied a group of 52 patients affected of C.M.O. (with central perforation) which underwent reconstructive surgery of the middle ear. The time of the tubo-tympanic mucociliary clearance, tried by means of a saccharin solution, was correlated with the surgical outcome. The conclusion drawn out is the success of reconstruction when the mucociliary system works well.
