Abstract

Grommet insertion is one of the commonest surgical procedures performed in the UK. We have come across three cases in which grommets have displaced medially in the middle ear after establishing a satisfactory postinsertion position. We suggest that an abnormally long myringotomy incision and improper placement of the grommet are responsible for this unwanted outcome.
