Abstract
Even though grommet insertions are quick and confer a low per-operative risk, it seems many children undergo surgery without a clear indication. This puts them at an unnecessary risk of per-operative as well as long-term complications. Since the procedure is so common, it also means large sums of money are spent on operations that might not be necessary.
