Summary:Background This study was designed to evaluate the effect of mastoid cavity obliteration with bone chips and reconstruction of canal wall with tragal cartilage after canal wall down tympanomastoidectomy with cartilage ossiculoplasty in the same session. Sixty-three patients with cholesteatoma underwent the technique mentioned above; patients were followed for 1 year postoperative. Results No cavity problems, median preoperative air bone gap was 32.86 ± 6.24 db, while the median postoperative air bone gap was 21.67 ± 5.99 db. Conclusions Canal wall down mastoidectomy with obliteration of mastoid cavity is an effective option for the complete removal of cholesteatoma and same session cartilage ossiculoplasty is a viable option.
