Oddziału Laryngologii Szpitala Miejskiego w Puławach.
In a group of 227 children endoscopic assessment of the auditory tube function and its pharyngeal opening anatomy was performed. The mentioned group was isolated from 2965 undergoing adenoidectomy. Preoperative endoscopy revealed impaired functioning of the auditory tube and also abnormal appearance of its pharyngeal opening in 71.3% of cases. Within the group adenoidectomy wasn't effective in 32 patients.
