Mastoidectomy

Restore Ear Health, Prevent Serious Infections
Mastoidectomy is a surgical procedure that clears infections from the mastoid bone behind the ear. It’s performed to treat chronic ear infections and prevent complications.

Description

Mastoidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove infected air cells from the mastoid bone, located just behind the ear. This condition usually results from chronic otitis media that doesn’t respond to medication alone. If left untreated, it may spread to nearby structures causing hearing loss, vertigo, or even brain abscesses.

There are different types of mastoidectomy — simple, modified radical, and radical — chosen based on the extent of the infection. It is often done using a microscope and high-precision surgical instruments, ensuring safety and accuracy.
