History
Infections of the ear were recorded as early as 380
sc in the Hippocratic canon, and surgery of the
mastoid and petrosadeveloped as a treatment
modality for suppurativeear disease.
Riolanthe Younger described a procedure skin
to mastoidectomyin 1649, and
John Luis Petit performed the first surgical
trephination /цлиндр хөрөөгөөр/of the mastoid in
1774.
Petit exposed the mastoid cortex,. performed a
trephination, and then enlarged the surgically
created fistula.
procedure fell into disrepute after the
sensationaldeath of Danish physician
JohanneGust Von Berger in1792.
He died of meningitis 12 days after a
mastoidectomyperformed by Koelpinand
Callisen.
The first postauricularincision was introduced
in 1853 by Sir WilliumWilde of Dublin.
Fortunately,Schwartzerepopularizedthe
operation in 1873.
Sincethen, technological advancements
such as the operatingmicroscope. the high-
speed drill, and specialized microsurgical
instruments have led to significant
improvements in the treatment of mastoid
disease.
CLASSIFICATIONS
Traditionally, classified as :
1. Simple (cortical, complete) mastoidectomy
2. Modified radical mastoidectomy
3. Radical mastoidectomy
A fourth procedure, Tympanomastoidectomy,
combines the simple mastoidectomywith a middle-
ear procedure, maintaining the posterior and
superior canal walls.
Depending on the fact whether postero-superior
canal is removed or not,
1. Canal Wall Up mastoidectomy
2. Canal Wall Down mastoidectomy.
Depending upon the mastoid cavity,
1. Open Technique
2. Closed Technique
ANATOMICAL
CONSIDERATIONS
The temporal bone consists of four parts:
squamous, tympanic, mastoid, and petrous(Figs.)
Important surface landmarks on the mastoid include
the temporal line, which extends posteriorlyfrom the
zygomaticroot and is the insertion site for the
temporalismuscle.

Posterior to the suprameatalspine, a group of small

APPROACHES And ROUTES
The term ‘Approach’ means the method of access
to the middle ear through the soft tissues.
eg. Endauralapproach, Retroauricular/post/
approach.
The term ‘Route’ means the method of access to
the middle ear through the bone.
eg. Transcorticalroute, TransmeatalRoute.
CORTICAL MASTOIDECTOMY
CORTICAL MASTOIDECTOMY ( Schwartze1873) is
a transcorticalopening of the mastoid cells and the
antrum.
It is the initial stage of any transmastoidsurgery of
the
1)middle ear 2)inner ear, 3) facial nerve,
4)endolymphaticsac, 5) labyrinth, 6) I.A.C and 7)
skull base.
SIMPLE MASTOIDECTOMY –This term is usually
used when mastoidectomyis done for drainage of a
mastoid abscess.
COMBINED APPROACH TYMPANOPLASTY (CAT)/
CLASSIC INTACT CANAL WALL MASTOIDECTOMY
CAT consists of a large mastoidectomywith an
intact but thin bony ear canal wall and a posterior
atticotympanotomy.
The intact canal wall technique is performed in two
stages.
The first operation is performed to remove all
cholesteatomaand repair the tympanic membrane.
Өргөн хэмжээний хагалгаа боловч Сувгийн ханыг гэмтээлгүй арын аттиктимпанотому хийгддэг.

Six months later, the second operation is performed
to inspect the mastoid and middle ear for residual or
recurrent cholesteatomaand to improve hearing by
ossicularreconstruction.
ATTICOANTROTOMY -is an extension of the
atticotomyin a posterior direction through the
transmeatalroute, in which lateral attic and aditus
walls are removed, and the antrumis entered.
It can be performed through the transcorticalroute,
but is usually performed through a transmeatalroute.
BONDY’S OPERATION –An atticoantrotomyis
called as Bondy’soperation if the tympanic cavity is
not entered.
If the tympanic cavity is entered, it is NOT described
as BONDY’S operation but as an atticoantrotomyor
conservative radical operation.
MODIFIED RADICAL
MASTOIDECTOMY
Classically, modified radical mastoidectomyrefers to
the Bondyprocedure, in which disease limited to the
epitympanumis simply exteriorized by removing
portions of the adjacent superior or posterior canal
wall.
Эпитимпанум шууд харагдаж байхаар Сувгийн ар болон дээд ханыг авах
A primary feature of the modified radical procedure
is complete removal of the posterior canal wall, the
major reason for failure of the Bondyprocedure.Сувгийн
ар ханыг бүрэн авах нь Bondyprocedure-г бүтэлгүй болгох гол шалтгаан болно
RADICAL MASTOIDECTOMY
Radical mastoidectomyis a canal wall down
mastoidectomyperformed to eradicate disease from
middle ear cleft in which mastoid cavity, tympanum
and EAC are converted into a common cavity
exteriorisedthrough the EAC, wherein the structures
of tympanic cavity (remnants of the incusand
malleus, and the drum remnant) are removed.дунд чихний

OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES(CWU)
Preparation-
General anesthesia without paralytic agents and
with continuous facial nerve Monitoring.
Tragus and postauricularskin are injected with 1%
lidocainewith epinephrine (1: 100,000) to provide
hemostasisand local anesthesia.
“Pre-scrub" the ear and the entire side of the head,
including hair, with betadine.
The surgical site is
then prepped and draped in sterile fashion.
INCISION
The postauricularincision is made from helical
rim to mastoid tip, approximately 1 cm
posterior to the sulcus.
Care is taken to avoid making the incision in
the sulcusas this can make closure more
difficult.
A T-shaped incision is made in the mastoid
periosteumto expose the mastoid cortex
An incision is made along the lineatemporalis, to the
level of the underlying bone.
A second periostealincision is made perpendicular
to the lineatemporalisand is carried down to the
mastoid tip.
.
Using the Lempertelevator, the
periosteumis elevated superiorly over
the tegmen, posteriorlyover the
sigmoid sinus, and anteriorlyto the
level of the EAC meatus.
Two self-retaining retractors
are used perpendicular to each other to expose the
entire
mastoid and EAC
