[Residual cholesteatoma: its prevention by surgery with endoscopic guidance].

In comparing two series of 72 operated cholesteatomas covered by a systematic surgical second look between 12 and 18 months, the authors have observed a distinct regression of residual cholesteatomas since oto-endoscopy came into use (from 47.7% to 10.7%). This new approach, with a minimum amount of practice, makes it possible to perform true endoscopy-guided surgery of the entire tympanic cavity, and reduces the indications of later tympanotomy.

Cholesteatoma

[Endoscopic ear surgery. Initial evaluation].

The authors describe an endoscopic procedure of surgery of the ear and report on their experience in surgery for cholesteatoma with a closed procedure in the first step and the systematic second-look. The use of such a system is an essential complement for the surgical microscope to control some regions of the middle ear such as the sinus tympani. The study deals with 72 cases of cholesteatoma operated successively. The number if residual cholesteatomas is analyzed. The merits of controlling assemblies in some ossiculoplasties with an endoscopic system are discussed.
