ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction The treatment of cholesteatoma is generally surgical, and the major obstacle is the high prevalence of recidivism. The endoscopic ear surgery technique is proposed to minimize this problem. Objectives To utilize endoscopes to visualize and manipulate cholesteatoma residues after microscopic removal Methods Cross-sectional study. Thirty-two patients with cholesteatoma underwent microscopic wall-up mastoidectomy combined with the endoscopic approach. The subjects were assessed for the presence and location of covert disease. Results Of the 32 cases, 17 (53.12%) had residual cholesteatoma in the endoscopic phase. Minimal disease was found, usually fragments of the cholesteatoma matrix. Pars tensa cholesteatomas had more covert disease than pars flaccida cholesteatomas (62.50% vs 43.75%). Posterior recesses (47.05%) and tegmen tympani (41.17%) were the locations with more covert disease (p< 0.05). Conclusion Cholesteatomas of the pars tensa presented more residual disease and were significantly more common in the posterior recesses and tegmen tympani.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To review an institutional experience with the surgical and clinical management of acquired middle ear cholesteatoma in patients with ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, cleft lip/palate (EEC) syndrome. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective chart review. SETTING: Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS: Eight patients with medical history significant for EEC syndrome who underwent surgery for acquired middle ear cholesteatoma between 1996 and 2016. INTERVENTION(S): Appropriate surgical interventions at the time of admission. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): History of ventilation tube insertion, status of the contralateral ear, surgical technique, cholesteatoma recidivism, presence of postoperative external auditory canal stenosis, pre and postoperative audiograms. RESULTS: Cholesteatoma was diagnosed in all patients, 3 (37.5%) unilateral and 5 (62.5%) bilateral, totalizing 13 ears. Six ears (46.2%) underwent a canal wall up mastoidectomy but required conversion to a canal wall down technique in a second procedure due to recurrent cholesteatoma. In the remaining seven ears (53.8%) a canal wall down mastoidectomy was performed. Of all meatoplasty performed, seven (53.8%) evolved with stenosis of the external auditory canal. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that most patients with EEC syndrome and middle ear cholesteatoma should be considered for a canal wall down mastoidectomy due to extensive disease and a high rate of recidivism. In addition, a high percentage of postoperative stenosis of the external auditory canal was found in this group.
