LOCATION: Outpatient, Hospital PATIENT: Siri Hanson SURGEON: Jeff King, M.D. PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: 1. Retained PE tubes 2. Obstructed PE tubes POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Same. PROCEDURE PERFORMED: Removal of bilateral PE tubes OPERATIVE NOTE: Siri is a 9-year-old female who has had PE tubes in for some time now. Recently, she has had problems with recurrent infections and persistent fluid. She has granulation on both tubes. A decision was made to remove these in the operating room. She was admitted through the same-day surgery program and taken to the operating room, where a general anesthetic was administered via inhalation. A 4-mm speculum was inserted in the right ear. Wax was removed from the canal. The tube was visualized. Using cup forceps, this tube was removed. There was granulation tissue around the opening. Two drops of Cortisporin were applied. The speculum was removed and inserted on the opposite side. Again, wax was removed from the canal. The PE tube was removed with cup forceps. Again, granulation tissue seemed to close the perforation nicely. Two drops of Cortisporin were applied here. The speculum was removed. The patient was allowed to recover from the general anesthetic and taken to the postanesthesia care unit in stable condition. There were no complications during this procedure. idc10cm idc10cpt
