Abstract

A new surgical technique for the treatment of cholesteatoma is reported. The technique involvesautoexclusion for exteriorization of the attic and tympanic box only. The resulting cavity is rather small.

The technique allows visual post-operative control of the attic and tympanic membrane. There isno visual access to the mastoid cavity which, however, is the most unlikely site for occurrenceof a residual cholesteatoma.

The proposed technique was applied to 102 patients and both the anatomic and functional resultsobtained are reported.
