How Modified Radical Mastoidectomy/Mastoidectomy is performed
This procedure is mostly performed under microscopic or endoscopic assistance and is suitable for chronic infection of the mastoid cavity or lesions such as cholesteatoma. A common approach is through a postauricular incision, opening the mastoid air cells, removing lesions and granulation tissue, preserving or reconstructing the middle ear structure as needed, and treating the aditus ad antrum and external auditory canal wall, and tympanoplasty or ossicular chain reconstruction is combined if necessary. Postoperative monitoring includes drainage, vertigo, and facial nerve function, with the goal of controlling infection and forming a stable ear cavity. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
