[Why does a mastoidectomy cavity become suppurative? Our experience and revision of the literature].
The main goal for performing surgery for chronic otitis media is to eliminate the disease and improve hearing whenever possible. Persistent drainage of a mastoid cavity means failure of surgery and of achieving the goal. In this study, we present our department's attitude for suppurative mastoid cavities as well as the reasons that do not allow adequate control of them.
