We conducted a prospective observational study of 112 children to ascertain what early post-operative complications were experienced. Our findings were consistent with previously published figures for post-surgical otorrhoea and obstruction rates, at 13.5 per cent and 4 per cent (by ear), respectively, using intra-operative administration of antibiotic\/steroid ear drops. We identified unique characteristics of differing ethnic groups with regard to findings at surgery and post-operative outcomes. There was a tendency for grommets placed in the left ear to be extruded early and Maori andPacific Islanders were significantly more likely to have a non-functioning tube (blocked or extruded) in the early post-operative period. Overall, one in four children developed a post-operative complication (otorrhoea or non-functioning tube) suggesting that early and close follow up may allow timely identification and intervention where required.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1258\/0022215054798005","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,8,22]],"date-time":"2005-08-22T06:48:43Z","timestamp":1124693323000},"page":"699-703","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Early post-operative morbidity after tympanostomy tube insertion"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"119","author":[{"given":"Jacqui","family":"Allen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Randall P","family":"Morton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zahoor","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,3,8]]},"container-title":["The Journal of Laryngology &amp; Otology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/services\/aop-cambridge-core\/content\/view\/S0022215105002008","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,3]],"date-time":"2019-05-03T20:14:00Z","timestamp":1556914440000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/product\/identifier\/S0022215105002008\/type\/journal_article"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2005,9]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"9","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2005,9]]}},"alternative-id":["S0022215105002008"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1258\/0022215054798005","relation":{},"ISSN":["0022-2151","1748-5460"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0022-2151","type":"print"},{"value":"1748-5460","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2005,9]]}}}
