AbstractThe existence of blind pockets in the middle ear during cholesteatoma surgery could compromise complete removal of the disease, e.g. from the sinus tympanum. The use of side-viewing rigid endoscopes in conjunction with the operating microscope to control and facilitate cholesteatoma removal during mastoid operation studied.Ninety-two primary operations for cholesteatoma over a four-year period were examined. Over one-third (35.9 per cent) of these cases had cholesteatoma extended into the sinus tympanum. Sixty-four operations were small cavity mastoidectomy. The others were either canal wall reconstruction or primary obliteration following open cavity mastoidectomy.Although residual cholesteatoma was found in three patients, only one was in the middle ear. It is concluded from this study that side-viewing endoscopes could be very useful in cholesteatoma surgery.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the hearing results of ossiculoplasty in canal wall down tympanoplasty in one stage middle-ear cholesteatoma surgery.We carried out a retrospective review of a consecutive series of 142 cases which had undergone type two or three canal wall down tympanoplasty with ossicular reconstruction, between January 1995 and December 2002, due to chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma.Pre-operative audiometric testing revealed a mean air conduction pure tone average (PTA) of 50.97 dB and a mean bone conduction PTA of 22.14 dB. The mean post-operative result for air conduction PTA was 37.62 and for bone conduction PTA was 23.37 dB. The mean pre- and post-operative air–bone gaps (ABGs) were 28.83 and 13.94 dB, respectively, with a gain of 14.89 dB. Almost 62.67 per cent of patients closed their ABGs to within 20 dB.Our functional results are comparable with those of other authors. In the present study, we show that hearing improvement is possible following cholesteatoma surgery with canal wall down tympanoplasty and ossicular chain reconstruction.

Abstrak Operasi mastoid berkembang sebagai penanganan terhadap Otitis Media Supuratif Kronik (OMSK). Mastoidektomi revisi dilakukan bila tujuan operasi pertama tidak tercapai. Kegagalan operasi mastoid bisa disebabkan oleh berbagai hal, diantaranya penanganan air cell yang tidak adekuat, facial ridge yang tinggi, kegagalan membuang semua kolesteatom, meatoplasti yang tidak adekuat dan ketidakpatuhan pasien untuk kontrol setelah operasi. Operasi mastoid revisi biasanya lebih sulit dan berbahaya karena anatomi telinga tengah menjadi tidak jelas, landmark dapat hilang dan struktur berbahaya sudah terpapar. Dilaporkan satu kasus operasi mastoid revisi pada seorang laki-laki berumur 25 tahun, yang ditatalaksana dengan timpanomastoidektomi dinding runtuh.Kata kunci: otitis media supuratif kronik, mastoidektomi revisi, kolesteatom, meatoplasti Abstract Surgery of the mastoid developed as a treatment for chronic suppurative otitis media. Revision mastoid surgery done if the aim of first surgery not achieved. Failure of  mastoid operation may caused by many things, including handling of air cells are not adequate, high facial ridge,  failure to remove all cholestetoma  meatoplasty in adequate and non adherence of patient to control after surgery. Revision  mastoid surgery is usually more difficult and dangerous, because anatomy of the middle ear may be altered, some of the important landmarks can be loss and dangerous  structure has been exposed. It was reported one case revision mastoid surgery in a man aged 25 years old, management with canal wall down tympanomastoidectomy.Keywords: chronic suppurative otitis media, revision mastoidectomy, cholesteatoma, meatoplasty

Abstract Background This study was designed to evaluate the effect of mastoid cavity obliteration with bone chips and reconstruction of canal wall with tragal cartilage after canal wall down tympanomastoidectomy with cartilage ossiculoplasty in the same session. Sixty-three patients with cholesteatoma underwent the technique mentioned above; patients were followed for 1 year postoperative. Results No cavity problems, median preoperative air bone gap was 32.86 ± 6.24 db, while the median postoperative air bone gap was 21.67 ± 5.99 db. Conclusions Canal wall down mastoidectomy with obliteration of mastoid cavity is an effective option for the complete removal of cholesteatoma and same session cartilage ossiculoplasty is a viable option.

Canal Wall Reconstruction

Difficulties are associated with reconstruction of middle ear bony structures in surgery for destructive lesions, including cholesteatoma. Although autologous cartilage appears to be the optimal choice because of its resistance to infection, the harvesting of sufficient volumes may be challenging. Therefore, regenerative medicine techniques to obtain sufficient material for reconstruction are awaited. We herein present a case of middle ear surgery for cholesteatoma with a sufficient volume of stick-shaped tissue-engineered cartilage produced from a piece of autologous auricular cartilage and autologous serum, with sufficient firmness to reconstruct bony structures. During surgery, sections of tissue-engineered cartilage were placed side by side to reconstruct the posterior canal wall. The postoperative course was uneventful. This is the first-in-human report of reconstructing middle ear bony structures with tissue-engineered cartilage. The results suggest a promising future for the satisfactory reconstruction of middle ear structures with minimal morbidity at the donor site.

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the recently proposed SAMEO-ATO framework for middle ear and mastoid surgery, by correlating it with the functional outcome in a large cohort of patients operated for middle ear and mastoid cholesteatoma in a tertiary referral center. Methods We retrospectively included all surgeries for middle ear and mastoid cholesteatoma undergone in our Department between January 2009 and December 2014, by excluding revision surgeries, congenital and petrous bone cholesteatoma. All surgeries were classified according to the SAMEO-ATO framework. The post-operative air bone gap (ABG) was calculated and chosen as benchmark parameter for the correlation analysis. Results 282 consecutive surgeries for middle ear and mastoid cholesteatoma were released in the study period on a total of 273 patients, with a mean age of 41.2 years. All patients were followed for an average period of 55.3 months. 54% of patients underwent M2c mastoidectomy (Canal Wall Down, CWD), while the remaining underwent Canal Wall Up (CWU) procedures, being M1b2a mastoidectomy the most common one (33%). Mean pre-operative and post-operative ABGs were 29.2 and 23.5 dB, with a significant improvement (p < 0.0001). ‘Mastoidectomy’ and ‘Ossicular reconstruction’ parameters of SAMEO-ATO showed significant association with postoperative ABG, with smaller residual gaps for the classes Mx and On, and worse hearing results for M3a and Ox. Conclusion Our results show the utility of SAMEO-ATO framework, and in particular of ‘M’ (Mastoidectomy) and ‘O’ (Ossicular reconstruction) parameters, in predicting the hearing outcome.
