title: A communication from the People's Republic of China: management of labyrinthine fistula with cholesteatoma.
abstract: Management and results in 43 cases of labyrinthine fistula with cholesteatoma are presented and discussed. The choice of surgical procedure is based on the presence or absence of infection; the size and location of the fistula; condition of the other ear; cochlear function, and condition of the stapes. Unchanged bone conduction has been obtained in 88% of our 43 surgical cases. The planned staged operation has produced good functional results.
