Cholesteatoma in Children: An Overview

Abstract

Poster Presentations P197Under general anaesthesia, the patient was positioned supine, with the head turned away from the site of the BBI. Local anaesthetic was administered and a postauricular incision was made and deepened down to bone. The subperiosteal flap was elevated and the surgeon determined the location of the FMT, with the help of the IGL. A conservative cortical mastoidectomy was performed to create a well for the FMT to sit in. A subperiosteal pocket for the receiver coil was created posterior-superior to the well.Results: Five patients underwent BBI surgery with IGL. Rapid and accurate localization of the site of the well for the FMT was possible in each case.Conclusions: The authors recommend IGL as a safe, rapid, and reproducible technique in localization of the site for the well of the BBI.
