- Abstract
Patients with chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma are often treated with canal wall up or, in advanced stages of the disease, radical (canal wall down) mastoidectomy. The presence of a postoperative cavity causes an accumulation of epidermis, recurrent inflammations, and some restrictions on wearing hearing aids. The aim of the study was to report preliminary results of 2 stage surgical technique, involving obliteration of the mastoid cavity after canal wall down mastoidectomy and Bonebridge implantation. Study was based on 16 adult patients who had had a history of chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma in one or both ears and previous canal wall down mastoidectomy. The patient's medical history, healing, audiometric results, and benefits from Bonebridge device were assessed. During the follow-up period, we did not notice any serious postoperative complications. Studies demonstrated signifi- cantly improved hearing thresholds and speech recognition in quiet and noise using the Bonebridge BCI 601 (7 cases) and Bonebridge BCI 602 (9 cases). Summarizing, we believe that the proposed two-stage surgical method using bioactive glass S53P4 is a safe and effective way of implanting both generations of the Bonebridge in difficult anatomical conditions.
