Abstract

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%).
