COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF THE EFFICIENCY OF CONSERVATIVE AND SURGICAL METHODS OF TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC PURULENT OTITIS MEDIA

128 patients with chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) were examined. The work performed a comparative evaluation of the effectiveness of mucopolysaccharides (glycosaminoglycans) and surgical treatment. Long-term results were traced, which indicated a practically equal therapeutic effect of glycosaminoglycans and sanitizing surgery in patients with CHSO, which was manifested by a pronounced positive clinical effect and a significant improvement in laboratory parameters. Thus, it can be assumed that for this category of patients, first of all, one should choose the tactics of using glycosaminoglycans and, if it is ineffective, resort to surgical treatment.
