Objective 1) Investigate a correlation between pathological findings at the 2nd stage operation and long-term outcomes in a staged canal wall-up tympanoplasty (SCUT) for middle ear cholesteatoma. 2) Advocate a new role of the staged manner based on the study. Methods SCUT was performed on 90 ears with cholesteatoma involving both the ossicles and the mastoid cavity. The 1st stage operation included scutum plasty and mastoid cortex plasty with bone pate following removal of cholesteatoma and ossicles involved. The 2nd stage operation records were reviewed regarding the pathological findings associated with retraction pocket (RP) and residual cholesteatoma (RC) formation. The scutum defect was revised with auricular cartilage, and the mastoid cortex plasty was again performed after removal of RC. Postoperative follow-up with endoscopic observation and CT was performed for all patients. Results At the 2nd stage, RP was seen in 15 ears (16.7%) which all showed partial or total absorption of the scutum reconstructed. Aeration grade of the mastoid cavity reconstructed did not correlate with RP or RC formation. RC was found in 28 ears (31.1%) regardless of RP formation. The long-term follow up study revealed that the statistically higher incidence of RP re-formation (26.7%) and RC (3.2%) was seen in ears which had been identified at the 2nd stage, respectively. Conclusions The present study showed that the long-term outcomes after SCUT were correlated with RP and RC formation at the 2nd stage. This indicates the 2nd stage operation has a role of the long-term prognosis in addition to exploration of RC.

Over Time

A prospective controlled pilot study was undertaken in which Biolite (carbon-coated) ventilation tubes were placed in 44 ears and a conventional silicone tube in the contralateral ear. Long-term follow-up of these patients has revealed little difference in the incidence of tube occlusion or early extrusion. In addition, there were several disadvantages noted with the Biolite tubes: incomplete coating of the tube (especially within the lumen), shedding of the Biolite coating over time, “tattooing” of the tympanic membrane, poor otoscopic visibility, and the higher cost of these tubes. Since the Biolite tube has no documented advantages and, actually, several disadvantages, we believe its use in the treatment of middle ear disorders should be discontinued until significant benefits are demonstrated and present deficiencies are corrected.

High Index Of Suspicion

Congenital cholesteatoma of the middle ear is a relatively rare entity that is becoming more frequently encountered in the pediatric age group. A high index of suspicion is needed to recognize this entity at an early stage. More challenging is the bilateral occurrence of the lesion that, although still rare, should always be remembered when examining children with congenital cholesteatoma, not only on the initial visit but also on subsequent follow–up. We report the eleventh case of bilateral congenital middle ear cholesteatoma and stress the importance of long–term follow–up in these cases.

Slow Growing

Osteomas of the middle ear are exceedingly rare benign neoplasms. To date, 16 cases have been reported in the literature, the vast majority of which appear as middle ear masses in young males with a progressive conductive hearing loss. In most patients, the diagnosis is confirmed by computed tomography (CT) or at the time of surgical exploration. Although these lesions have been described as slow-growing, no long-term follow-up has been reported. We present the seventeenth case of a middle ear osteoma in a 33-year-old man who remains asymptomatic and wthout evidence of tumor growth after nine years of follow-up. We suggest that asymptomatic middle ear osteomas can be appropriately managed without removal in a select group of patients.

We conducted a retrospective study of 53 mastoidectomies in 51 patients with acute otomastoiditis. In 26 cases (49.1%), surgery had been performed within 48 hours of the development of symptoms. The most common complication of acute otomastoiditis was subperiosteal abscess, which occurred in 37 cases (69.8%). Intracranial complications were seen in 6 cases (11.3%). The most common pathogens isolated from subperiosteal abscesses, the mastoid cavity, and intracranial collections were Streptococcus spp and Staphylococcus aureus. In 14 cases (26.4%), conservative treatment failed to cure acute otomastoiditis; such cases should raise a suspicion of a subperiosteal abscess, an underlying cholesteatoma, or an infection caused by gram-negative bacteria. Upon hospital admission, patients should receive antibiotics that are effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. Patients with intracranial complications or facial nerve paralysis may require a combination of two or more antibiotics. Long-term follow-up is highly recommended.
