What Is Mastoidectomy?
Mastoidectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove infected or damaged mastoid air cells located in the mastoid bone behind the ear. The surgery is commonly needed to treat conditions such as chronic otitis media, mastoiditis, cholesteatoma, or other ear infections that do not respond to medications.
Types of Mastoidectomy
- ✔ Simple Mastoidectomy – Removal of infected mastoid air cells while preserving ear structures.
- ✔ Radical Mastoidectomy – More extensive surgery that removes part of the middle ear structures when the infection is severe.
- ✔ Modified Radical Mastoidectomy – Preserves more middle ear structures while removing infected tissue.
- ✔ Cortical Mastoidectomy – Also known as "Schwartze procedure," this removes only diseased mastoid air cells.
- ✔ Canal Wall Up vs. Canal Wall Down – Techniques to either preserve or remove the ear canal wall during surgery.
