Mastoid obliteration in intact canal wall mastoidectomy

Clinical Otolaryngology, 1987
Long-term results following intact canal wall mastoidectomy with cavity obliteration were compared with those following similar operations leaving the mastoid cavity as an 'air reservoir'. The incidence of adhesive eardrums was the same (12%) in both groups.

Mastoid Obliteration

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1978
Mastoid obliteration is recommended as a routine procedure in all mastoid surgery. Bone chips from the mastoid tip, bone paté from the cortical bone and lyophilized dura can all be employed effectively to fill the epitympanic space and Traumann's triangle.

Impact on Quality of Life After Mastoid Obliteration†

Laryngoscope, 2008
AbstractObjectives/Hypothesis: To understand the long‐term impact on quality of life (QOL) in patients undergoing mastoid obliteration surgery for a chronically draining cavity, using the Glascow Benefit Inventory (GBI) QOL survey, and to correlate these findings to perceived changes in drainage and hearing.Study Design: Retrospective chart review ...

Operative Technique In Mastoid Obliteration

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1973
A meatally based postauricular musculoperiosteal flap is recommended for cavity obliteration. With preserved canal wall, it prevents spreadixg of infections to the mastoid cavity. In cases with removed posterior bony wall, a new rigid wall is reconstructed using cortical bone chips and bone dust between fascia and musculo-periosteal flap.

Mastoid obliteration using bone p�t�

Clinical Otolaryngology, 1994
The technique of mastoid revision and obliteration using bone pâté and a superiorly based temporalis musculo-periosteal flap is described in detail. This method has evolved and been employed in our department over the past 10 years.

Indications for Obliteration and Closed Mastoid Operations

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1969
The increased interest in postoperative care and the avoidance of an open cavity in mastoid and tympanoplasty surgery is a natural development in the progress of otologic surgery. The control of the pathological process, maintenance or improvement of hearing to an adequate level, and a healed ear with a minimum amount of morbidity and postoperative ...

Obliteration of the Mastoid in the Treatment of Tumors of the Temporal Bone

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1984
A retrospective analysis of 29 cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the external and middle ear and 15 cases of glomus jugulare tumors of the middle ear was performed to evaluate the incidence of osteoradionecrosis of the temporal bone following surgery and/or radiotherapy.

Mastoid and Epitympanic Bony Obliteration in Pediatric Cholesteatoma

Otology & Neurotology, 2008
The primary goal of cholesteatoma surgery is complete eradication of the disease. To lower the recurrence rate in the pediatric population in canal wall up techniques and to avoid the disadvantages of canal wall down techniques, the bony obliteration technique with epitympanic and mastoid obliteration has been developed. The objective of this study was

Use of porous ceramics to obliterate mastoid cavities

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research, 1973
AbstractThe mastoid process of the temporal bone can become infected with possible serious complications. If the infection does not respond to antibiotics, the infected area must be surgically removed, with the result that a cavity is formed. This cavity must be obliterated before the soft tissues can be closed over the site.Many biological tissues ...
