Abstract
The chronic discharging ear is still one of the common problems that the Otorhinolaryngologist in India and other developing countries are encountering. Although, thanks to the advent of newer antibiotics, the incidence of acute suppurative otitis media and its complications have reduced, chronic suppurative otitis media and their complications are still prevalent. The continuation of the infection and the bone eroding properties of granulation tissue and cholesteatoma seen in CSOM are known to be the major pathological process causing these complications. As there is no simple means to eradicate this chronic pathology, appropriate and timely intervention by an Otologist goes a long way in the prevention of these human maladies. The decision to treat chronic suppurative otitis media by surgery, in this case by a canal wall down procedure, is not to be undertaken lightly. Whatever the reason for the procedure, the patient will become a regular visitor to the outpatient for many years to come, and will only be discharged if the cavity is entirely trouble-free and self-cleaning over a number of consecutive visits.
