MASTOID RECONSTRUCTION & OBLITERATION
After ‘open cavity’ or canal wall down surgery for cholesteatoma the resulting cavity can accumulate wax over the years which may need cleaning out. Occasionally cavities become infected and if this happens frequently reconstructive surgery or obliteration of the cavity may help to dry the ear up. This can be carried out using a flap of muscle rotated in to the cavity to fill the space and restore more normal anatomy.
The North Hampshire ENT Partnership is a team of consultants specialising in a wide spectrum of diseases and disorders that affect the Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) including snoring and sleep disorders, cosmetic and skin surgery.
Our surgeons provide specialist care by drawing from the 50 plus years of combined NHS experience and the many areas of individual specialist expertise available within the partnership.
