Dr. Vibhor Malhotra offers expert care for complex ear conditions requiring surgical management. Modified Radical Mastoidectomy is a specialized procedure used to remove extensive ear infections or cholesteatoma while preserving as much hearing as possible.
What is Modified Radical Mastoidectomy?
It is a surgical technique that removes diseased tissues and infection from both the mastoid bone and middle ear, while reconstructing the ear canal for better drainage and long-term ear health.
Why does it happen?
This surgery is usually needed for patients with chronic otitis media or cholesteatoma — a non-cancerous growth that damages the ear bones and nearby structures. It helps prevent hearing loss, vertigo, and serious complications like brain infection.
Procedure:
Dr. Malhotra performs the surgery under general anaesthesia, making a careful incision behind the ear. The infected areas and cholesteatoma are removed, and the ear canal is reconstructed to allow proper aeration. The middle ear is often repaired using grafting techniques. Post-operative care focuses on keeping the ear clean and dry while monitoring hearing improvement.
