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. In cases of chronic suppurative otitis media with atticoantral / postero superior marginal pathology, treatment modality is only surgery. Surgical options available are the canal wall down mastoidectomy and intact canal wall mastoidectomy. Hence canal wall down mastoidectomy with posterior canal wall reconstruction is a better option. This technique has the advantage that complete disease clearance could be given as we do the canal wall down technique. As we also reconstruct the posterior canal wall, the complications such as post operative cavity problems, hearing impairment could be averted.
