Depends: If you have a perforation with drainage, sometimes just local antibiotic drops will resolve the problem.  If the drainage has a foul smell, you may have a cyst of skin called a cholesteatoma and that requires surgical removal.  Csom is a generic term.  Therefore, ask your otologist exactly what the problem is and why he/she thinks surgery is necessary.

Not cured.: Recurrent otitis media implies chronic issues with the eustachian tube. In these cases, particularly if there is hearing loss +/- chronic middle ear fluid, ventilating tubes (ear tubes) may be recommended. Tubes bypass a dysfunctional eustachian tube and allow better air exchange in and out of the middle ear, which is implicated in recurrent ear infections.
