Abstract
|
|
|
|
Incidence of congenital cholesteatoma of the middle ear seems to be increasing due to recent developments in diagnostic skill including the use of endoscopy. As residual or recurred cholesteatoma after incomplete removal of the disease is also on the rise as well, a necessity has been emerging for the systematic approach for diagnosis and management of the disease. In this paper, author wishes to help the novice of the ear surgery by introducing a novel staging system and treatment algorithm for the disease, which were developed through author’s surgical experience of more than one hundred cases over twenty years as well as the literature review.
