Recently, Mr. Liu, from Chancheng, Foshan, has been suffering from pus in his right ear with hearing loss for more than 1 year, and has come to the hospital for treatment many times, but there is no cure. This time, I came to Dr. Zheng Ligang for ENT and found that the right tympanic membrane was perforated after examination, and it was considered to be cholesteatoma otitis media, which cannot be cured by taking medicine, and surgery is required to completely cure it.
Mr. Liu is very concerned about whether his surgery is minimally invasive, and after my examination, I found that his cholesteatoma has a very wide range, and there is a risk of removing unclean cholesteatoma if he does minimally invasive otoendoscopic surgery without incision at all, but minimally invasive surgery for cholesteatoma with small incision is very suitable. Whether minimally invasive surgery can be performed is determined by two factors: the extent of the lesion and the doctor's technique.
This time, I did minimally invasive surgery for cholesteatoma with a small incision under general anesthesia, and the surgery began after intubation and general anesthesia. A small incision was made in front of the ear to gradually expose the mastoid cortex, open the upper tympanic chamber and tympanic sinus, remove the cholesteatoma and repair the tympanic membrane. The whole procedure went very smoothly. There was no obvious discomfort and no surgery-related complications in the postoperative rounds.
At present, he has had several follow-up visits in the outpatient clinic, and he has fully recovered before the operation, and Mr. Liu is also satisfied with the appearance after the operation.
If you still have any questions about cholesteatoma otitis media, please leave a message and communicate with Dr. Zheng Ligang for further communication.
