[Anatomical and functional evaluation, after 3 and 5 years, of 94 cases of chronic cholesteatomatous otitis media. Clinical and therapeutic implications].
Anatomic and functional results are reported after 3 and 5 year follow up of 94 cases of chronic cholesteatomatous otitis operated upon and kept under surveillance by the same surgeon between 1975 and 1983. Open technics dominated and were justified by seven clinical and epidemiologic factors found alone or in combination in 80% of patients. Results must allow for the high rate of non-attenders (40% at 3 years and 70% at 5 years). Recovery from their cholesteatoma was obtained in 84 and 78% of patients after 3 and 5 years respectively, 52% recovering useful hearing, 2 out of 3 of these due to an open technic. Modified radical mastoidectomy is considered to be undoubtedly the most effective treatment for this type of affection.
