  • Title: [When should an ear not be operated on].
    Author: Plester D.
    Journal: Laryngol Rhinol Otol (Stuttg); 1984 Aug; 63(8):386-8. PubMed ID: 6482617.
    Abstract:
    Despite the low morbidity of modern middle ear surgery there are some limitations in indication. The age of the patient, the function of the Eustachian tube, the fibrotic middle ear, the cleft palate, the glomus tumour, Menière's disease and "the last hearing ear" of the patient are discussed as far as middle ear surgery is concerned.
