Background:

  • Canal wall down mastoidectomy can lead to hearing impairment.
  • Tympano-ossiculoplasty aims to restore hearing in such cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the efficacy of cavum major tympano-ossiculoplasty in patients with a history of canal wall down mastoidectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 79 patients undergoing cavum major tympano-ossiculoplasty.
  • Data collected from 1,910 tympanomastoidectomies performed between 1976 and 1998.

Main Results:

  • Successful air-bone gap closure to within 20 dB was achieved in 63% of patients.
  • The average hearing gain was 14.7 dB.

Conclusions:
