[Peculiarities of surgical interventions in the nasopharynx of patients presenting with lymphoid tissue hypertrophy and exudative otitis media].

A total of 118 patients presenting with exudative otitis media and lymphoid tissue hypertrophy in the nasopharynx were examined and treated. A classification of different variants of lymphoid tissue hypertrophy and pharyngeal tonsil hypertrophy was developed and used as a basis to plan the strategy of surgical interventions in the nasopharynx.
