n the last years, the using of a dynamic videoendoscopic analysis of the function of the Eustachian tube (ET) under conditions
of changing pressure in the nasopharynx was shown that in 65% of cases of dysfunction of the Eustachian tube (ETD), the
reason is in epipharyngeal tubal ostium. e most common factors bringing to narrowing the ostium of ET could be grouped as
endonasal (in ammation with purulent re ux to the ostium, deformation and hypertrophy) and nasopharyngeal (hypertrophy
of the tubal tonsils, of the torus tubarius and lymphoid tissue). e presence of this endonasal and nasopharyngeal pathology in
chronic ETD reasonably raises the question of the e ectiveness of the combination of radiofrequency (RF) tuboplastic and RF
endonasal surgery, which is the objective of this work. Over a period of seven years; there have been made 210 (120: Males and
90 Females) endoscopic RF tuboplastic surgery combined with RF endoscopic, endonasal surgery to remove the anatomical
and chronic in ammatory changes in the nasal cavity. All patients make a dynamic videoendoscopy of the nasal cavity and
the epipharynx and a complex of audiometry and tympanometry. e combination between the radiosurgical endonasal
interventions and RF tuboplastc surgery gives very good results concerning the aeration of the middle ear, improvement of
results audiometry and tympanometry in 85% of patients for follow-up period of 4 years. As a conclusion we can say that the
treatment of chronic ETD should be aimed at restoring the structure-functional unity of the ostium of the Eustachian tube, as
in our opinion the simultaneous RF endonasal operations combined with RF tuboplastic surgery appear to be a highly e ective
solution.
