Аннотация
AIMS: Eustachian tube dysfunction affects nearly all children with cleft palate but its management is controversial. Some units perform routine prophylactic grommet insertion at the time of palate repair, whilst others are more conservative, inserting grommets only when signs and symptoms of otitis media with effusion are present. This study aims to present outcome data from one cleft team practising a conservative approach.
DESIGN: This is a retrospective study in which consecutive palate repairs over 10 years are analysed and compared with previously published data. The spectrum of clefting and severity (LAHSHAL), otological and speech outcomes were recorded. Patients were excluded if incomplete data was available, and if sensorineural deafness or syndromic clefting was present.
RESULTS: Data is presented for 72 of 109 consecutive patients and the 37 excluded patients are discussed. Following a conservative approach to otitis media with effusion, 29% of cases required grommets. The use of grommets seemed to be more common in those with more severe clefting. Despite this, the group receiving grommets had better speech results than those who did not, although this improvement was not statistically significant.
CONCLUSIONS: There is no evidence of poor overall otological outcome in this series. The data demonstrates that those receiving grommets had better results despite more severe clefting.
