Objective: To investigate the long-term outcome and clinical value of modified radical mastoidectomy with mastoid obliteration using pedicled combined flap of postauricular musculo-periosteal and ear canal skin flap in conjunction with bone paté.
Methods: During 2 years from April 2003 to March 2005, 71 otitis media patients (71 ears) with cholesteatoma were subjected to this kind of operation.
Results: The follow-up period was more than 2 years. The period of complete reepithelialization ranged from 3 weeks to 1.5 months, with the mean period of 29 days. All of the patients, treated by the described method of operation had a dry, disease-free mastoid of ear.
Conclusions: Mastoid obliteration with pedicled combined flap of postauricular musculo-periosteal and ear canal skin flap in conjunction with bone paté, had the advantages as follows: (1) Healing of the mastoid cavity in a short time. (2) Better reepithelialization of the obliterated mastoid cavity. (3) No need of skin grafting in the mastoid cavity. (4) High rate of the dry ear in postoperation. (5) nearly no need of the mastoid cavity cleaning postoperatively.

squamous cell carcinoma is a recently recognized entity characterized by a non-viral-related non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma with chromosomal rearrangement between on 6p22.3 and on Xq28. This neoplasm is associated with an aggressive clinical behavior, particularly regarding local recurrences and distant metastases even with its deceptively bland histomorphology.

Background The surgical management of chronic otitis media (COM) with squamous disease is canal wall down mastoidectomy (CWDM). Canal wall down procedures require the obliteration of the newly formed cavity to mitigate complications. Soft tissue flaps, including Rambo flap, Hong Kong flap, Palva flap, and inferior-based fascio-periosteal flap, as well as autologous bone pâté, have been the most successful and commonly used materials for obliteration over the past two decades.

In recent years, transcanal endoscopic ear surgery (TEES) has gained widespread recognition as an excellent surgical field for blind spots such as the sinus tympani (ST) when compared to microscopic ear surgery (MES). To investigate the postoperative hearing results for pars tensa cholesteatoma and the indications for utilizing endoscopy. The medical records of 16 patients (10 men and 6 women) with pars tensa cholesteatoma, who received initial surgical treatment between 2018 and 2022, were reviewed.

To explore the effect of hydroxyapatite (HA) combined with concentrated growth factor (CGF) on the cavity filling during endoscopic mastoidectomy in patients with middle ear cholesteatoma. The data of patients with middle ear cholesteatoma who underwent endoscopic canal wall down (CWD) mastoidectomy and mastoid obliteration with hydroxyapatite in Huazhong University of Science and Technology Union Shenzhen Hospital from December 2017 to October 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into observational group (HA+CGF) and control group (HA) according to whether CGF was used.

The living human inner ear is challenging to study because it is encased within dense otic capsule bone that limits access to biological tissue. Traditional temporal bone histopathology methods rely on lengthy, expensive decalcification protocols that take 9-10 months and reduce the types of tissue analysis possible due to RNA degradation. There is a critical need to develop methods to access fresh human inner ear tissue to better understand otologic diseases, such as Ménière's disease, at the cellular and molecular level.
