Surgical outcomes in 603 children with otitis media purulenta chronica (OMPC) have shown that early microsurgery (endaural tympano-, attico-, aditotomy) improved or reestablished normal anatomy and physiology of the middle ear in 85% of the patients. One-stage cleansing or plastic surgery is preferable. In operations on mastoid process in the absence of complications, prevention of reoperation seems most effective by autotissue plastic reconstruction of the mastoid bone wound in the end of the operation.
