Cortical Mastoidectomy with Myringoplasty

1. Initial Consultation: During the initial consultation, the otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist) will evaluate the patient’s ear condition, assess the severity of symptoms, and discuss treatment options. The specialist will also review the risks and benefits of cortical mastoidectomy with myringoplasty and address any questions or concerns the patient may have.

2. Preoperative Evaluation: Before surgery, the patient may undergo imaging studies such as a CT scan or MRI to assess the extent of disease and identify any anatomical abnormalities that may affect the surgical outcome. The patient may also be advised to discontinue certain medications that could increase the risk of bleeding during surgery.

3. Surgical Procedure: Cortical mastoidectomy with myringoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort and safety. During the procedure, the otolaryngologist will make an incision behind the ear to access the mastoid bone and middle ear structures. Diseased tissue, including cholesteatoma if present, will be carefully removed, and any bony abnormalities will be addressed. The perforated eardrum will then be repaired using tissue grafts, such as temporalis fascia or cartilage, to create a watertight seal and restore hearing function.

4. Recovery: After cortical mastoidectomy with myringoplasty, patients may experience temporary discomfort, swelling, and drainage from the surgical site. Pain medications, antibiotics, and ear drops may be prescribed to alleviate discomfort and prevent infection. It’s important for patients to follow post-operative instructions provided by the otolaryngologist and attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing and assess hearing function.

5. Results: The results of cortical mastoidectomy with myringoplasty vary depending on the extent of disease, the success of the surgical repair, and the patient’s individual response to treatment. Many patients experience significant improvement in symptoms such as ear discharge, hearing loss, and recurrent infections following surgery. Full recovery typically takes several weeks, during which time patients should avoid activities that may increase the risk of trauma to the surgical site.
