Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Cholesteatoma is a frequent otological issue requiring effective treatment.
  • The management of cholesteatoma impacts patient quality of life and hearing preservation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of a simple open cavity technique with meatoplasty for cholesteatoma management.
  • To assess the cost-effectiveness and complication rates associated with this surgical approach.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series analysis of patients undergoing open cavity technique with meatoplasty for cholesteatoma.
  • Evaluation of audiological results, complication rates, and need for subsequent outpatient care.

Main Results:

  • The open cavity technique with meatoplasty proved to be a cost-effective treatment for cholesteatoma.

  • Most treated ears achieved a dry and safe status, with minimized cavity issues through meticulous surgical technique.
  • Hearing levels remained stable post-operatively, and some cases were suitable for later tympanoplasty.

    • Conclusions:

    • A simple open cavity technique, including meatoplasty, is a viable and cost-effective surgical option for cholesteatoma.
    • This method effectively renders ears dry and safe with minimal complications and infrequent follow-up.
    • The technique preserves hearing and allows for potential secondary reconstructive procedures.
