My current cholesteatoma techniques.
Correct treatment of cholesteatoma should always be based on a good knowledge of its pathogenesis. The basic process consists of the ectopic presence of a basal malpighian-like epithelium in the middle ear. Different types of cholesteatoma exist, ranging from the cystic to the invasive form. The most appropriate surgical techniques for each type will be discussed by the author.
