Chronic purulent otitis media (CHSO) remains one of the most pressing problems in modern pediatric otorhinolaryngology, representing a socially significant disease with high prevalence in the pediatric population. According to the World Health Organization, 65 to 330 million people worldwide suffer from chronic forms of otitis media, with 60% of cases occurring in childhood. It is particularly concerning that the incidence of CHSO in the child population continues to grow, despite the improvement of methods for the prevention and treatment of acute otitis media.
