Abstract
The results of cholesteatoma surgery performed from 1965 to 1980 and the surgical methods most frequently employed are presented. By canal down technique, a conservative radical operation with obliteration with muscle or combined transplants, we have obtained almost similar results as with a modified intact wall technique, whereby a small cortical mastoidectomy was performed together with atticotomy. It is concluded that no single method is optimal in all cases of cholesteatoma, and that the surgical approach must be individualized in relation to the pathology in the tympanic cavity and the tubal function.
