“…24 We have also used these techniques, and feel that the results with muscle have been similar to the results obtained using muscle pedicle grafts. We have noted somewhat better results using free fascia and periosteum.…”

“…In 1911 Mosher described Plummer's technique of using a soft tissue flap to fill the excavated mastoid 2 . Many others including Popper, 3 Meurman and Ojala, 4 Guildford, 5 Palva 6 and the Hong Kong flap 7 have been described along with various fillers. Fat, cartilage, bone chips/pate have been used but they tend to resorb with time and although one could "overfill" to compensate, the results are unpredictable and some authors have raised concerns that using cortical bone could result in cholesteatoma becoming incorporated into the obliterated cavity.…”

Introduction: The creation of the "open cavity" to clear cholesteatoma results in significant morbidity in over a third of patients. Various biological and non-biological materials have been used to reduce or obliterated these mastoid cavities. Materials and Methods: This study reports the technique and results of using hydroxyapatite granules with a pericranial flap to obliterate troublesome cavities. Results: 50 mastoid obliterations were performed in 48 patients. 94% no longer required water precautions 2 months post-operatively and may use conventional hearing aids. Discussion: This technique improves patients' quality of life and can enable discharge of patients previously reliant on ENT services.
