摘要

Comparing the effects of local vitamin A and local dexamethasone on preventing myringosclerosis in human tympanic membranes caused by ventilation tubes was the aim of the study. Three groups were created from 90 kids having myringotomies and ventilation tube insertions: In group I, thirty children are undergoing myringotomy and the insertion of a ventilation tube alone; in group II, thirty children are undergoing myringotomy and the insertion of a ventilation tube along with the use of local vitamin A; and in group III, thirty children are undergoing myringotomy and the insertion of a ventilation tube along with the use of local dexamethasone. According to otoscopic and microscopic examination, group 2 (6 ears) that received local vitamin A had a lower incidence of myringosclerosis than group 3 (11 ears) that received local dexamethasone and group 1 (21 ears) that did not receive any local medication. According to the study's findings, local vitamin A is more effective than local dexamethasone at reducing the severity and incidence of myringosclerosis in children having myringotomy and ventilation tube insertion.
