(5) After transection of the TVP muscle at the pterygoid hamulus, the contraction of the TVP muscle did not produce any velar movements.
(6) Second, the residual volume of saline with antibiotics, which was put into the ME space 2 to 7 days before, was compared between the side on which tubal ventilatory function was abolished (resection of tensor veli palatini muscle and hamulus pterygoideus) and the opposite, control side.
