Abstract:
Postoperative care is as important as the actual surgical procedure, if not more important. Thiersch skin grafting remains an excellent technique to ensure proper healing in the mastoid cavity and ear canal. Successful surgical outcomes depend on a well-coordinated effort by the surgical team and the patient. Preoperative planning, intraoperative surgical technique, and postoperative care and follow-up are discussed in this article.
