METHOD: Cleft palate children complicated by SOM accepted palatoplasty combined tympanostomy tube surgery, and evaluated by tympanum examination, acoustic immittance measurement in the post-operation. The others with suited age constitute, who accepted palatoplasty only,received the same testing too. RESULT: Compared with children who accepted palatoplasty only,the correlated index of SOM in post-operation of children who accepted palatoplasty combined with tympanostomy tube surgery had more improvements,there was a statistically significant difference between them. The recovery degree of middle ear function in younger group was better than elder group,there was a statistically significant difference between them. CONCLUSION: Tympanostomy tube surgery is helpful to increase cure rate of 0ME in children with cleft palate. The younger the patient is,the better the recovery degree of middle ear function will be. Palatoplasty combined with tympanostomy tube surgery should be an effective way in the management of cleft palate complicated by SOM, and good effect could be obtained when children accepted operation in early stage.
