RESUMO
The management of pediatric cholestetoma is still controversial. We report our experience with one-stage procedure canal wall down technique in children who had acquired cholesteatoma with evaluation of the hearing status pre and post operatively. Single-stage CWD mastoidectomy approach has a good hearing result with low rate recidivism [7.5%,] and minimal cavity problem. Hearing was preserved in [32%], improved [40%] and became worse [28%] of cases postoperatively. Single-stage approach has low rate of recidivism during follow-up period and overcome the social problems of multi-stage procedure in children
