  • Title: Indications and technique in mastoidectomy.
    Author: Bennett M, Warren F, Haynes D.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Clin North Am; 2006 Dec; 39(6):1095-113. PubMed ID: 17097435.
    Abstract:
    The goal of any chronic ear surgery is to create a dry, safe ear and to preserve or restore hearing as much as possible. Multiple different mastoid procedures exist, each with their own indications, advantages, and disadvantages. A keen understanding of all mastoid procedures allows the surgeon to individualize which procedure is appropriate for each patient. A thorough understanding of the anatomy and dissection techniques allows each of these procedures to be done safely.
