Canal Wall Down Techniques for Managing Cholesteatoma

Abstract

Cholesteatoma remains a common otological problem. This series shows that a simple open cavity technique, with meatoplasty, remains a cost‐effective option for treatment. Most ears are rendered dry and safe, with cavity problems minimized by careful technique. Subsequent outpatient care is required infrequently and is well tolerated. The hearing is no worse after the operation than before and some em are suitable for subsequent tympanoplasty.

A system for ubiquitous distributed acquisition of voice alteration samples through a mobile application

“…The standard for the diagnosis of voice disorders is an invasive method, named videostroboscopy, that concerns analysis of vocal folds vibrations during speaking. Stroboscopy uses a method of synchronized illumination of the vocal folds providing slow motion visualization of vocal cords vibration [3]. This method is costly, time consuming and personnel-intensive [16].…”
