| Summary: | New evidence was identified that is relevant to recommendation 1.5.1 which states 'Once a decision has been taken to offer surgical intervention for OME in children, the insertion of ventilation tubes is recommended. Adjuvant adenoidectomy is not recommended in the absence of persistent and/or frequent upper respiratory tract symptoms.' The new evidence shows a significant benefit of adenoidectomy in combination with a unilateral ventilation tube on the resolution of OME in children aged 4 years and older who have recurrent OME, although the effect on hearing may be small (van den Aardweg et al. 2010 and Simon et al. 2018). The evidence does not therefore support the recommendation that adenoidectomy should only be undertaken in children with OME who also have frequent upper respiratory tract symptoms |
