Learning Objectives:

The inner ear fistula is a frequently encountered complication of a cholesteatoma. During the removal of cholesteatoma matrix covering the inner ear fistula, meticulous care should be taken not to insult the inner ear. To minimize the inner ear damage, we preserve the periosteum around the inner ear fistula during the removal of cholesteatoma matrix. With this technique, the damage to the endosteum is minimized. This is very important, especially in case with cochlear fistula. In this video workshop, we present our technique in the removal of cholesteatoma matrix from inner ear fistula.
