Surgery
If the condition does not respond to antibiotics or is associated with osteitis, surgical procedures may be performed while continuing the medication. The most common procedure is myringotomy with tympanostomy tube placement for drainage and culture of effusion. When an abscess has formed in the mastoid bone, a mastoidectomy should be performed after antimicrobial agents have controlled sepsis.
