Year: 2016
Type: conference-abstract
Abstract: The postoperative hearing results showed a gain of 1,7 dB on pure-tone average air-conduction (PTA-AC).(D) Nonecho planar diffusion weighted imaging (non-EP DW MRI) documented the residual (n = 1) and recurrent cholesteatoma (n = 1).The 1 and 5 year Imaging follow-up revealed no other recurrent or residual disease.Conclusions: The CWR-BOT is a safe and very effective option for treatment of problematic unstable canal walldown mastoid cavities, resulting in dry trouble-free ears.Objective: To present the long-term surgical outcome of the bony mastoid and epitympanic obliteration technique with canal wall reconstruction (CWR-BOT) in adults with an unstable cavity after previous canal wall-down surgery for extensive cholesteatoma.
