Summary

Studies have focused on the factors that influence tympanostomy tube (TT) extrusion may contribute to the management of OME. In this study the investigators aimed to assess the correlation between the TT extrusion time and viscosity of the middle ear fluid. 33 patients scheduled for TT insertion included in the study. During the paracentesis, fluid from the middle ear was obtained, and the viscosity was measured with a viscometer. After the surgery, patients were controlled monthly until the tubes were seen extruded.The analysis of the correlation between tube extrusion time and viscosity was insignificant (p \>0.05).
