The Effect of Radiofrequency ablation and Mitomycin C in the surgical management of Human
tymapnostomy, could it be the end of the Grommet era?

Acute otitis media and otitis media with effusion are among the most commonly diagnosed medical problems
in children .It has been found that 39% of infants experience an episode of acute otitis media by 6 months and
20% had more than one episode .Maintaining middle ear ventilation to reduce the severity and frequency of otitis
media remains the focus of the surgical management of otitis media . The performed tymapnostomy’s were done
with radiofrequency ablation with and without the use of mitomycin-C.The function of mitomycin-C is to prevent
replication of fibroblasts and epithelial cells .It actively interrupts the DNA replication and inhibits new cell formation
thus affecting the healing process. Hereby this study was made in a randomized controlled manner to determine
the feasbility of radiofrequency with or without mitomycin –C application in delaying the closure time of human
tympanostomy and to screen its efficacy in the managment of recurrent otitis media and otitis media with effusion
. The conclusion that was reached was when tympanpstomy is done with the use of radiofrequency abalation with
application of mitomycin-C it had shown a delayed closure time ,slower healing rate than the tympanostomy done
with radiofrequency without mitomycin-C application. And as we continued to follow up with the patients , we had
reached another amazing conclusion ,patinets operated for tymapnostomy with radiofrequency and mitomycin-C
application had shown a better cure rate in recurrant otitis media (45% to 80%) , And otitis media with effusion (28%
to 59%).
