Tympanomastoid surgery for cholesteatoma is a procedure designed to eliminate the disease and maintain a safe and dry ear. This retrospective study was designed to evaluate the functional results of cholesteatoma patients who underwent canal wall down mastoidectomy in conjunction with a tympanoplasty. Operated ears due to chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma were considered for the study. Th...

Background and Objectives The canal wall down mastoidectomy brings changes in the anatomy of external auditory (EAC), causing potential problems, such as accumulated crust, vertigo attacks, difficulties wearing hearing aids (HAs). objective this study is to evaluate safety efficacy mastoidoplasty using demineralized bone matrix (DBM) obliterate mastoidectomized cavity reconstruct EAC.Subjects M...

It is usually managed with radical or modified radical mastoidectomy. Clinical diagnosis of recurrent cholesteatoma in a closed postoperative cavity is difficult. Thus, the accepted protocol in most otologic centers for suspected recurrence consists of second-look ...
