Surgical treatment of adult cholesteatoma: long-term follow-up using total reconstruction procedure without staging

Abstract: Recurrence of AC occurred in 10%, residual disease in 3%. Six years after surgery all patients except one had a dry ear and over 92% of all cases were water resistant. Three patients developed complete deafness. Long-lasting improvement and/or preservation of hearing, with maintenance of PTA-ABG closure in 68% of all cases within 20 dB, were obtained. Sixty-four (19%) ossicular revisions were performed.

“…Patients were operated for cholesteatoma by five otosurgeons using an identical technique, previously described as total reconstruction procedure (TRP). TRP was defined as a one-stage CWD procedure using a retro-auricular approach including wide meatoplasty, radical mastoidectomy, and total or partial removal of the bony canal wall followed by reconstruction and obliteration [13]. In cases with severe eustachian tube dysfunction a silastic sheet was inserted into the middle ear.…”

“…Mastoid cavity obliteration using soft tissue flaps is considered highly effective (78%–100%) in solving a cavity problem; however, it is very difficult to compare them due to the variety of obliteration techniques . Also, a few authors have considered the effects of various soft tissue flaps on duration of epithelialization in CWD mastoidectomy.…”

“…Complications of surgery, such as deafness, dizziness, and facial nerve palsy, can sometimes occur (65)(66)(67). Furthermore, it sometimes makes it difficult to identify recurrent or residual cholesteatoma (68,69). Preventing secondary infection by aspiration of debris makes cholesteatoma less aggressive and decreases complications; however, regular treatment is needed throughout life.…”
