Mastoidectomy
A critical surgical procedure to remove diseased bone cells from the mastoid—the honeycomb-like bone located just behind the ear. This surgery is vital for eradicating deep-seated, dangerous ear infections that threaten hearing and overall health.

Who Needs a Mastoidectomy?
This surgery is often a medical necessity to treat aggressive ear conditions such as:
Cholesteatoma
A destructive, expanding skin cyst in the middle ear that can erode the surrounding bone.
Mastoiditis
A severe bacterial infection of the mastoid bone that hasn't responded to antibiotics.
Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM)
Long-standing ear infections causing chronic, foul-smelling discharge.
Cochlear Implant Prep
Sometimes performed as the first step to access the inner ear for a cochlear implant.
Why This Surgery is Crucial
Post-Surgery Recovery
Hospital Stay & Bandaging
A thick bandage is placed over the ear. You may experience mild dizziness or a dull earache, which is managed with medication.
Bandage Removal
The large bandage and stitches behind the ear are removed. The ear must be kept strictly dry.
Internal Healing
The mastoid cavity heals completely. Routine check-ups are done to ensure the infection has been entirely cleared.
