Learning Objectives: Summary abstract presentation in the conference: “Complications in chronic ear surgery”.

One possible complication during cholesteatoma chronic middle ear surgery is labyrinthine fistula.

In this conference titled: “Complications in chronic ear surgery” a definition and classification of labyrinthine fistulas will be showed. Then, key aspects will be addressed such as: pre-surgical diagnosis and intraoperative management.

During first section we will focus on symptoms and physical signs suspicious of a labyrinthine fistula. Additionally, special attention will be given to pre-surgical radiological testing. Such evaluation should be mandatory in order to prevent auditory and vestibular complications during surgery.
