Postoperative Otorrhea as a Predictor of Early Ventilation Tube Extrusion in Children
Postoperative otorrhea and recurrent otitis media were associated with shorter VT retention, whereas demographic factors and concurrent adenoidectomy/tonsillectomy had no effect. Closer follow-up could be beneficial in patients with these risk factors to detect early extrusion and potential disease recurrence.
