Abstract:
Surgery for cholesteatoma should be tailored to individual patients, considering demographic and disease factors, to obtain a dry, safe, and functional ear. The EAONO/JOS classification and staging system provide a valuable framework for data collection and outcome assessment. Canal wall-up and canal wall-down surgical approaches each have their advantages and disadvantages, though it is not definitive that one approach is clearly more advantageous than the other. Mastoid obliteration techniques show promise in reducing recidivistic disease rates but require further research and standardization. Endoscopic ear surgery further augments our surgical capabilities to visualize and eradicate cholesteatoma.

Ostomy Care
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
