Tympanic retraction pockets. Evaluation after 3 years of our therapeutic regimen. Apropos of 106 cases

: A retrospective study of 106 retraction pockets has been achieved: Part of them was treated with ventilation tubes (23 cases) and an other part was treated by tympanoplasty (83 cases). Our purpose was to verify if our indications were wright. We concluded that it is correct to operate the fixed retraction pockets and it is not dangerous. Concerned the indication of ventilation tubes in non-fixed retraction pockets we do not concluded but propose a complementary study.
