Summary

Forty children and 53 adults with a total of 111 atelectatic ears were operated on and followed up. Eight-four ears underwent tympanoplasty, while 27 ears underwent both a tympanoplasty and a mastoid operation. There were no statistically significant differences between the two operation groups as far as their age groups and the extent of the disease present. After follow-up of over 4 years, aeration of the middle ear was found to be better in the tympanoplasty group alone when compared with ears with also had mastoid operations.
