Assessment of the outcome of canal wall down mastoidectomy combined with Tympanoplastyin Cholesteatoma at a tertiary centre

Abstract

Background: Chronic otitis media (COM) is a persistent inflammation of the middle ear, often leading to hearing loss and recurrent infections. Among the various surgical techniques available to manage COM, canal wall down (CWD) mastoidectomy combined with tympanoplasty is particularly effective for cases involving cholesteatoma or extensive disease.
