  • Title: Effects of large-bore middle ear ventilation tubes.
    Author: Holt JJ, Harner SG.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg (1979); 1980; 88(5):581-5. PubMed ID: 7192378.
    Abstract:
    Patients with chronic otitis media that did not respond to conventional treatment were studied for the types and incidence of complications from the use of large-bore tubes inserted into their ears. The most common complication was otorrhea (41%, 50 of 123 ears). Permanent perforation occurred in 25% (17/68 ears). Use of large-bore tubes proved effective and continues to be indicated in certain conditions of chronic otitis media that are refractory to other forms of treatment.
