Mastoid obliteration versus open cavity: a comparative study. [PDF]
A chronic discharging ear has been a perpetual problem and a source of worry to the otologists for centuries because of its high rate of morbidity. Active squamous chronic otitis media is a commonly encountered disease entity which requires prompt surgical management. The surgical procedure most commonly employed is modified radical mastoidectomy. This
