Overview
The article presents the most frequent type of chronic middle ear inflammation in children and the middle ear surgery.
Middle ear reconstructions in childhood represent a complex issue. Their aim is to remove the pathological process in the middle ear and subsequently to restore the transfer function of the middle ear. Autologous and biocompatible materials can be used for reconstruction. Hearing gain is essential, especially in childhood, for the patient's further life. Good hearing in childhood is key for proper development of speech and learning. The quality of life, mental and language skills and children's development are thus positively influenced by the operation.
Even in childhood, these operations can achieve good results, both anatomical and functional.
