Background: Chronic otitis media affects approximately 2% of the global population, causing significant hearing loss and diminishing the quality of life. However, there is a lack of studies focusing on outcome prediction for otitis media patients und...
Background: The development of temporal bone pneumatization is related to the postnatal middle ear environment, where the development of air cells is suppressed with otitis media in early childhood. However, whether air cell formation restarts when m...
Canal wall down mastoidectomy (CWD) effectively eradicates cholesteatoma and chronic otitis media but frequently results in a problematic open mastoid cavity. Mastoid obliteration aims to reduce cavity-related morbidity. Bioceramic materials, includi...
Background: to evaluate the residual rate and the functional results after ten years from canal wall down tympanoplasty (CWD) for tympano-mastoid cholesteatoma. Methods: All the patients undergoing CWD for chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma at o...
We present a case of a 69-year-old male who presented with acute left facial nerve palsy, serous bloody otorrhea, otalgia, and exposed necrotic bone on the floor of his left ear canal. His medical history revealed a left canal wall-down (CWD) mastoid...
Background: To evaluate patients with middle ear cholesteatoma presenting with facial palsy (FP). Material-Methods: A total of 14 subjects (10 males and 4 females), with a mean age of 42.5 years, were included in our study. The majority of patients p...
Background/Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate factors necessitating alternative techniques during cochlear implant (CI) surgery and to compare outcomes with standard procedures. Methods: Patients of all ages who underwent CI at our center betwe...
The overall number of day-case otologic surgery cases is increasing; however, there is limited experience about performing canal wall down tympanoplasty in patients with chronic suppurative otitis media with cholesteatoma in this setting. The objecti...
Background: The indications for transcanal endoscopic ear surgery (TEES) for middle ear cholesteatoma have expanded for cases involving mastoid extension. However, TEES is not indicated for all cases with mastoid extension. In addition, predicting th...
Background and Objectives: To evaluate the surgical management and outcomes of lateral semicircular canal fistulas (LSCFs) in patients with middle ear cholesteatoma, focusing on hearing preservation and vestibular function. Materials and Methods: A r...
Objective: To evaluate factors that influence the rate of cholesteatoma recurrence (growth of new retraction cholesteatoma) in children. Methods: Review of children with primary acquired or congenital cholesteatoma. Severity was classified by extent...
