WHAT DOES MASTOIDECTOMY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

mastoidectomy

Mastoidectomy

A Mastoidectomy is a procedure performed to remove the mastoid air cells. This can be done as part of treatment for mastoiditis, chronic suppurative otitis media or Cholesteatoma. In addition, it is sometimes performed as part of other procedures or for access to the middle ear. There are classically 5 different types of Mastoidectomy: ▪ Radical Mastoidectomy - Removal of posterior and superior canal wall, meatoplasty and exteriorisation of middle ear. ▪ Canal Wall Down Mastoidectomy - Removal of posterior and superior canal wall, meatoplasty. Tympanic membrane left in place. ▪ Canal Wall Up Mastoidectomy - Posterior and superior canal wall are kept intact. A facial recess approach is taken. ▪ Cortical Mastoidectomy - Removal of Mastoid air cells is undertaken without affecting the middle ear. This is typically done for mastoiditis ▪ Modified Radical Mastoidectomy - This is confusing because it is typically described as a radical mastoidectomy while maintaining the posterior and superior canal wall which reminds the reader of the Canal Wall Up Mastoidectomy. However, the difference is historical.
