Chronic otitis media is an inflammatory process of the mucoperiosteal lining of the middle ear space and mastoid. Infection represents the single major cause for the failure of tympanoplasty and can result from a hidden mastoid disease. Cortical mastoidectomy is an effective means of repneumatizing the mastoid and eradicating the mastoid source of infection. The effect of mastoidectomy on patients without evidence of active infection remains highly debated and unproven.

Abstract


Chronic otitis media is an inflammatory process of the mucoperiosteal lining of the middle ear space and mastoid. Infection represents the single major cause for the failure of tympanoplasty and can result from a hidden mastoid disease. Cortical mastoidectomy is an effective means of repneumatizing the mastoid and eradicating the mastoid source of infection. The effect of mastoidectomy on patients without evidence of active infection remains highly debated and unproven.
