Abstract

A minimum dataset for recording of findings during myringotomy and ventilation tube insertion for cases of otitis media with effusion is presented. With increasing pressures on surgeons to audit existing practices and hence improve standards of health care, it is appropriate to produce such a set of guidelines for a surgery that is frequently performed world-wide. We believe that the data presented is not too exhaustive and can be readily incorporated into the operative notes.
