Principles of cholesteatoma surgery

Abstract: As a potentially life-threatening disease, cholesteatoma of the petrous bone generally requires a surgical approach. Surgery aims to produce an ear that is easy to care for and is free of recurrent or residual cholesteatoma. Hearing improvement is of secondary importance. Nevertheless the sound conduction system is generally reconstructed as a single-stage procedure. There are various possible methods of dealing with a cholesteatoma: (i) preserving or reconstructing the posterior meatal wall with an aerated ma… Show more

“…Cholesteatoma is a rare cyst-like growth formed from keratinizing stratified squamous epithelium in the middle ear cleft or the petrous bone 4 . Surgery is usually required because, although benign, cholesteatoma is destructive and potentially life-threatening 5 . Under antibiotic prophylaxis (amoxicillin combined with clavulanic acid) the patient underwent tympanoplasty, incus resection and reconstructive surgery of the auditory channel.…”

“…As we stated in the introduction, treatment of cholesteatoma is usually based on surgery [ 2 , 3 , 24 – 28 ], including the surgical removal of chronically inflamed ossicles. Relapses are frequent with recurrence rates <10% already being considered as therapeutic success [ 4 , 29 – 31 ].…”
