Abstract

This is a study about usefulness of cortical mastoidectomy in addition to myringoplasty for the treatment of active cases of chronic otitis media mucosal type , conducted in a tertiary care center between Jan 2012 to Sep 2013. About 60 patients were selected and out of which 30 patients were treated with cortical mastoidectomy with myringoplasty , in another 30 patients myringoplasty alone was done. Post operative results were compared at 2months , 6months and at 1 year in terms of graft uptake, recurrence of disease and hearing improvement . And the results showed that cortical mastoidectomy had no added advantage over myringoplasty in treating active cases of chronic otitis media –mucosal type.
