Congress Abstract
Full Text

To investigate the effectiveness of a soft-tissue bulking agent comparing transnasal-transpalatinatal surgical procedure in local and general anesthesia versus a transnasal–transoral endoscopic surgical procedures in general anesthesia for eliminating symptoms of unilateral patulous Eustachian tube dysfunction (PETD). Patients suffering from PETD underwent one of the following procedures: i) transnasal-transpalatinatal soft-tissue bulking agent in local anesthesia ii) transnasal-transpalatinatal soft-tissue bulking agent in general anesthesia, or iii) transnasal-transoral soft-tissue bulking agent in general anesthesia. The necessity to repeat the procedure due to recurrence of any PETD related symptoms was recorded. The frailty model, an extension of the Cox proportional hazards model, was used for the survival analysis. Although all procedures different approaches resulted in an improvement of PETD symptoms resolution, the transnasal-transpalatinatal ET augmentation in local was more likely to accomplish a complete resolution of PETD related symptoms.
