Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Temporary eustachian dysfunction and ear fullness occur in the early postoperative period after adenoidectomy and/or adenotonsillectomy. This temporary eustachian dysfunction is considered to be caused by clots and edema in the nasopharynx after surgery. In addition, trauma to the eustachian tube during adenoidectomy performed by curettage also contributes.
Eustachian dysfunction may present at the post-operative period resulted in otalgia related to middle ear pressure in the pediatric patients undergoing adenoidectomy or adenotonsillectomy. In this case, the need for analgesic agents rises in the early postoperative operiod and beyond this stituation impairs the quality of the healing process.
Reducing middle ear pressure by ensuring the mobility of the eustachian tube with the eustachian milking maneuver, which is a lymphatic drainage method, may reduce the otalgia symptoms during the post-operative recovery period, thus reducing the use of analgesic agents and improving the quality of the healing process. The aim of this observational study is to investigate to what extent a eustachian therapy maneuver corrects the negative values in middle ear pressure in the postoperative period.
