    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Mastoid Surgery

    Background:

    • Mastoid cavities require effective postoperative management.
    • Challenges include maintaining ventilation and preventing otorrhoea.
    • Facilitating wax removal and inspection is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a technique for creating a large meatoplasty.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of this technique in mastoid cavity management.
    • To review surgical outcomes over a 5-year period.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical description of a large meatoplasty technique.
    • Review of 56 operations performed over a 5-year period.
    • Assessment of postoperative management outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • The large meatoplasty technique resulted in good ventilation of mastoid cavities.
    • Otorrhoea was effectively prevented postoperatively.
    • Ease of inspection and wax removal was achieved.

    Conclusions:

    • A large meatoplasty is beneficial for mastoid cavity postoperative care.
    • The described technique offers improved ventilation and prevents otorrhoea.
    • This surgical approach simplifies follow-up and wax management.
