Shunya Ikeda, Nobuaki Tsuchihashi, Nobuko Kawashiro, Jin Kanzaki

Abstract

Currently, myringotomy is widely used in the routine initial treatment of acute otitis media in Japan. In an attempt to evaluate the validity of this strategy, a number of issues that demand reassessment or clarification have been identified. These issues and factors contributing to the persisting uncertainty about myringotomy are examined.
