          Abstract

          O uso do tubo de ventilação (TV) da orelha média, tratamento cirúrgico eleito da otite média com efusão (OME), não é isento de complicações, promovendo ainda limitação social pela necessidade de abandono dos banhos de imersão. A mitomicina C (MMC) é um antineoblástico, cuja aplicação tópica retarda a fibrose e previne a estenose cicatricial. Em cobaias, retardou o fechamento de timpanotomias, permitindo maior tempo de aeração da orelha média, à semelhança dos tubos de ventilação. FORMA DE ESTUDO: Clínico prospectivo. OBJETIVO: Comparar a eficácia entre timpanotomia, aspirado da efusão e inserção de tubo de ventilação (grupo TV) versus timpanotomia, aspirado da efusão e aplicação tópica de mitomicina C (grupo MMC). Comparar o tempo de manutenção da timpanotomia e a incidência de complicações nos dois grupos. RESULTADOS: O grupo MMC apresentou eficácia significativamente menor (52% versus 80%) que o grupo TV (p= 0,34). A presença de timpanometria tipo "B" e a ausência de comprometimento do óstio faríngeo tubário pelo tecido adenóide no pré-operatório representaram fatores de mau prognóstico. A aplicação tópica de MMC nas bordas da timpanotomia proporcionou um tempo de abertura da membrana timpânica por duas a três semanas. No grupo TV, a otorréia foi observada em 13,3% dos pacientes. No grupo MMC, apesar da menor eficácia, nenhum paciente apresentou complicações nem sofreu prolongada proibição dos banhos de imersão. CONCLUSÃO: Apesar de concluirmos que o TV apresenta maior eficácia, novos estudos utilizando maior concentração, maior tempo de aplicação ou o uso seriado de MMC no tratamento da otite média com efusão devem ser realizados.

          The insertion of the ventilation tube (VT), which is the surgical treatment for otitis media with effusion (OME), is not free from complications and also limits social life because of the need of abandoning immersion baths. Mitomycin C is an antineoblastic that delays fibrosis and avoids stenosis in scars by its topical use. It permitted a longer ventilation of the middle ear in guinea pigs by delaying tympanostomies closure similarly to the ventilation tubes. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective clinical trial. AIM: Observe and compare the efficacy of tympanostomy, effusion suction and insertion of the ventilation tube (VT group) versus results of tympanostomy, effusion suction and topic application of mitomycin C(MMC group), and also the duration of tympanotomy and incidence of complications in both groups. RESULTS: MMC group showed a significant lower efficacy (52% versus 80%) than that of VT group (p=0,34). The occurrence of type B curve in the tympanometry and tube pharyngeal ostium free from adenoid tissue in the preoperative period represent poor prognosis factors. The topic application of mitomycin on the tympanostomy permitted a patency period of two to three weeks. On the VT group, otorrhea was observed in 13,3 % of the patients. On the MMC group, despite its smaller efficacy, there were no complications or need of missing immersion baths. CONCLUSION: We concluded that VT showed better efficacy than mitomycin on this trial. However more study is needed specially focusing on higher mitomycin C concentrations, longer periods of application or its serial use, for the treatment of otitis media with effusion.

          Preliminary results of intraoperative mitomycin-C in the treatment and prevention of glottic and subglottic stenosis.

          Mitomycin-C is an antineoplastic antibiotic that acts as an alkylating agent by inhibiting DNA and protein synthesis. It can inhibit cell division, protein synthesis, and fibroblast proliferation. The purpose of this pilot study is to investigate intraoperative applications of topical mitomycin-C in treatment and prevention of glottic and subglottic stenosis. Eight patients with posterior glottic and/or subglottic stenosis were treated with endoscopic CO2 laser excision followed by topical application of 0.5 cc of 0.4 mg mitomycin-C per milliliter of saline for 4 minutes at the surgical site. After mean follow-up of 15 months (10-20) all patients had clinical improvement of their airway and resolution of their preoperative symptoms. No complications were noted in this study. Although a longer follow-up and further controlled studies are needed, the use of topical mitomycin-C may prove useful in the treatment and prevention of subsequent restenosis and scar formation in the larynx and trachea.

            Care of the child with tympanostomy tubes.

            More than two million tympanotomy tubes are placed annually in the United States, making this operation the most common performed on children. This article provides an overview of the applications of tympanotomy tubes for the treatment for otitis media in childhood. The indications for tube placement are discussed; a visual guide for managing children with tympanostomy tubes is presented; an approach to dealing with tube complications is outlined; and guidelines for referral to a pediatric otolaryngologist are suggested.
