Indications for Obliteration and Closed Mastoid Operations

Mastoid Obliteration Using Homograft Bone: Preliminary Report

“…24 We have also used these techniques, and feel that the results with muscle have been similar to the results obtained using muscle pedicle grafts. We have noted somewhat better results using free fascia and periosteum.…”

Mastoid Obliteration using HA granules and pericranial flap : technique and results.

“…In 1911 Mosher described Plummer's technique of using a soft tissue flap to fill the excavated mastoid 2 . Many others including Popper, 3 Meurman and Ojala, 4 Guildford, 5 Palva 6 and the Hong Kong flap 7 have been described along with various fillers. Fat, cartilage, bone chips/pate have been used but they tend to resorb with time and although one could "overfill" to compensate, the results are unpredictable and some authors have raised concerns that using cortical bone could result in cholesteatoma becoming incorporated into the obliterated cavity.…”
