11 years ago I had, cholesteathoma lateris dextri. Aticoantromastoidectomia. Tympanoplastica typ III lateris dextri. Dilatatio mae lateris dextri. This is what the doctor did to me. He saved my hearing. He saved my hearing!! When I speak of this doctor, I speak of him standing up, out of the outmost respect.
Wow, I've never seen the procedure before. I've undergone this operation 6 times throughout my childhood. I had a cholesteatoma in my right ear which can cause brain damage and in the worst cases death. Every time they removed it, it grew back. The end result was the ultimate widening of my ear canal. These operations have resulted in a 73% hearing loss. Unless I really concentrate I'm basically deaf in my right ear. God bless the surgeons who saved my life from this horrible disease.
British Tiger After surgery how longs takes to recovery and which instructions care you did? My brother gone to make this surgery on June I'm very worried about this.
Im going through this in my right ear 4 years ago and i just done mastoid surgery for left ear 5 days ago. Both ear hearing loss. Scary going through this
@@kanninacbb3241 Stay strong, over time your brain will adjust and as scary as it may seem, it'll all feel normal after a while. I don't feel like I have hearing loss because its just natural for me, it's definitely something you can get through with time and strength. Wish you the best ✌️
I had a similar surgery to this, but my eardrum was being reconstructed. High praise to all of the doctors who can perform surgeries like this and riskier!
I had a mastoidectomy and tympanoplasty to remove a cholesteatoma and repair my hearing, although my hearing is not perfect (I was told it wouldn't be), I am truly grateful to have had the cholesteatoma removed as my consultant explained to me just how dangerous they are if left untreated.
@@liaaa9483 face is fine. My ears are slightly misaligned but without it being pointed out it’s unnoticeable. My sense of taste and mouth was funky for a couple weeks and my ear was numb for a couple months but everything fine and back to normal. I lost 33db in the affected ear and there’s a slight dip around the back of my ear where they’ve drilled into my skull I’m guessing but I recovered quickly from everything
I was studying suppurative chronic otitis media and came across mastoidectomy as a treatment option. This video has helped me get a basic understanding of mastoidectomy and all its variants. Thank you.
just had this done on 12/10/18. no pain, just mild taste disturbances and some stinging/ringing in the ear. my follow up appointment is on 12/19/18. fingers crossed, so far so good.
@@johnhudson3095 😭 my mom surgery is in next month. She has Choleostotama in both the ears and one ear is not functioning well at all. I am afraid while they are growing old😢
Had this done in 1967 I was 17. I had ear infection in my right ear which was always draining "we said back then your ear is running" I had this problem as a child in the 50's my parents could not afford for me to have surgery so it wasn't until my Dad had a better job with insurance that I was able to have the surgery. I would not let them put me to sleep because when I was younger in the 50's they used ether to put me asleep for my tonsillectomy, so the surgeon just numbed the whole right side of my head. I could hear the drilling the Dr. talked to me during the whole surgery. I did not feel any pain during the surgery. They told me at the time they did not use ether anymore and I could just get a shot and go to sleep. Even though I did not feel any pain during the surgery I would recommend just going to sleep. I will be 70 soon, never had anymore ear infections after the surgery but did loose the hearing in my right ear because it had gone untreated for too long, anyone having this done good luck, it's not as bad as it looks, I was back to my old self in a few weeks, and no more ear infections or drainage for over 50 years now👍👍 The hearing loss I guess did not seem unusual since I always had cotton in my ear so I could not hear out of that ear anyhow.
I just had this done a week and a half ago, to hopefully permanently clear out a persistent middle ear infection that did not respond to antibiotics. Today I get the stitches taken out. Pretty big scar behind my left ear, but I don't care, I'm in my 60's.
Just had this surgery done on my right ear for the third time. First surgeon was beating around the bush with my cholesteatoma trying to preserve my canal wall. Switched surgeons for the third surgery and had my canal wall removed along with my meatus enlarged. Hearing loss sucks.. sitting here with packing in my ear struggling :(
@@chintuKumar-uj6ou I am much better now.. end result is substantial hearing loss but I am used to it since the first surgery. Doctor is recommending cochlear implant hearing aids but I am fairing well without them and am 28 years old - which deters me from wanting a chip in the side of my head.
I just had this surgery a week ago and recovering. I was feeling very discouraged because I too have had surgery 4 or 5 times now and not sure what they are even doing at this point. So here I am with insomnia searching the internet to try and understand better. While my ear drains and my ear canal is much bigger. I'm 29, hopefully feeling better soon
Have had this surgery done to me twice(same ear).due to ear infections..you don't need to shave head as they shave a small part anyway..This vid is very well done & I salute all you surgeons that perform this as it's so close to nerves etc..I now have mri every year to check for infections.
I had this surgery today. The recovery was somewhat painful, perhaps a 3 or 4 on the 1 to 10 pain scale. Prescription strength ibuprofen reduced the pain to about 1 or 2. Oddly, the most painful (5) was opening my mouth wide enough to take a big bite of a hamburger. Chewing was ok, but opening my mouth hurt! In summary, the video is very accurate but the actual process is NOT that scary. Get it done, you will be fine. 😊
I have 2 queries related to the above procedure. 1) How can a person on earth be able to listen if eardrum is removed? 2) Will the drilled bone (Skull) gets filled again with time after the surgery?
sir thanks a lot sir ..I didn't get the things when I saw it in OT but now after watching it my concept got cleared..now I can also relate with what I saw earlier in OT..thanks a lot ..thanks
Well done, very informative. I had this op 7 months ago. The middle ear was removed and a new ear drum constructed. Didn't have any pain (drugs). Had to sleep on my right ear because of the cup that was taped to my left ear. That was the only discomfort. The op took 5 hours, might as well have been 5 seconds in my time span. I stayed home for about 3 weeks until the bandages were removed, I was too embarrassed to go out in public. The only thing I have felt is a tingling in my scalp above that ear. I had a "mini-stroke" prior to the op and the condition was discovered with an MRI. I had a drooped smile on my left side that has returned to normal. Eating was a chore because food would migrate to the left side of my mouth between my gum and my cheek. Don't wait to have this op done otherwise the pain will become unbearable and the end result is premature death. The Cholesteatoma eats the inner and middle ear and then begins to eat through the skull.
i had op radical mastidectomy before 8 months,the most teasing thing which i feeling is ,that my jaw is still paining where ear operated.another worry is that there is a severe persisting pain in my head right above the op ear,my question is ,this head pain is due to ear surgery or any other reason.pain in head and neck i dont know what should i do,the doctor prescribed pain reliefs but it doesnt working on pain
Can u plz tell me what's your hearing status now? Are u able to hear fully or if there is any hearing loss due ti surgery?? Plz tell me my brother is going to have this surgery soon i am worried about him plz plz plz reply
i had same operation 25 days ago and it was little bit painful while operation but now i am fine now i am watching this because i want to know how my ear operation was done 😅
@@AdityaKumar-zj2vk yes bhai pain hota esa lagta hai jaise kisi ne sui chubha diya ho kan ke parde me but operation ke time thoda control krna pdta hai pain hone pe or doctor ke uper bhi depend krta hai kaise ho rha operation
I did it a couple months ago and i did not dare to watch these video's. Only now i can look at it XD. It wasn't as painful as it looks ;) it does not hurt.
I'm very late to this. But I had the rare case when they have to remove my entie eardrum. Watching this video has made me understand! Like woah! No wonder I was in so much pain, this surgery is crazy. I can't believe they drilled into my ear like that! And I had the surgery when I was 11. I got out on my 12th birthday but I could barely celebrate because I was still recovering haha.
Had this operation about 2 years ago after putting up with an infected ear for about 2 years. It lead to having gromits that lasted only 2 day because of the pressure behind my eardrum pushing the gromit out then had mastoid surgery and having tissue from inside my neck to rebuild my ear drum. Not hundred percentin my left ear but haven't had an infection since.x
I had that done back in 1996 because of inner ear infection it was Mastoid Surgery now since everything has been healed and now im getting alot of ringing in my right ear and it wont go away,
I did the surgery 4 days ago on my right ear. It took them more than 6 hours to complete the surgery. The next day after the surgery, my bandage was opened and i got discharged right after that. I think my sense of taste is decreasing specifically on my right tongue. My eardrum is reconstructed and they barely put a wool containing antiseptic and it keeps bleeding out. My ear is in pain like swimming under deep ocean. I mean imagine the pressure. That's how it feel. I hope i will not undergo the surgery again because i saw in the comments some patients said they have the surgery more than 1 time. God bless
What they discharged you after one day? WOW, I had this surgery two times and, the second one was also 7hrs long, I had to stay in the hospital for 10days each time, last time in 2002. I got operated hear in Austria, and all costs are covered because of universal health insurance. I wonder how many of you got this problems, because of the lack of follow up care from your medical personal. I can hear 85% on my operated ear and go to the doctor every month for a check up, because my left ear can't clean itself. I have no further follow up complications. I'm sorry that you're struggeling.
I had this kind of operation on my left ear in 2008. My left ear was already deaf when I had the operation. I think the deafness was caused by the infection which must have spread to my inner ear. My consultant told me the disease was extensive whatever that means exactly. I don't know how drastic the operation I had was but I think I was told afterwards that there was some reconstruction. Ten years later it feels OK but is still deaf. Now I need a similar operation on my right ear. The disease hasn't progressed as much this time. I can still hear well with this ear. I was told that the operation is not urgent. I just hope the problem's been spotted soon enough so that my hearing can be preserved.
I suggest you see an ear, nose throat specialist. He or she will help you. My Physician kept giving me drops for yeas till I went to a specialist he forcthe problem right off. And now I just had my second ( last) surgery still recovering 5 days later. Please do not wait. Good luck.
I have had this surgery 3 times to remove recurrent cholesteatomas in muy 20's. My ENT was truly amazing and used cartilage from my outer ear (a chunk of the treagus) to rebuild done that was damaged. I was very lucky that I still have my hearing in both ears. I do have to go back and have him do a check this year to decide if I need another. I have always wanted to see it done, and now I have! Thank you very much!
@@yvanl6498 I don't believe so, but they didn't go into that with me. This last surgery ended up being a canal wall down approach and I have an ossicular prosthesis. No hearing aid and I won't have to undergo surgery on that ear again. It was a much more difficult recovery though.
My daughter had this done the day before her first birthday this year and we are now going back in to do a canal wall down due to the infections that she has had since the first surgery. She was born with hers and when they did the first removal it took them 7 hours her facial nerve was exposed and she had to have a bone graft and the ear drum a graft we have yet to do a true hearing test due to the infections that she keeps getting
I hope they didn't have to take all the bone out. I have a huge cavity behind my ear where they took out the bone. Makes my ear sunken in. And the constant ear discharge. Wouldn't wish that on anyone
Vertigo Titnitis Hearing loss Foul smelling discharge (yellow or white) Eroding of the middle ear bones Fullness feeling in ear Fluid buildup/drainage Infections Cracking or popping sensations Eustation tube dysfunction Hole in ear drum General feeling of unwell Mild fever ..just to name a few Your mother may have all, some or none of these symptoms. It's best to see an ent and get a CT Scan of the middle ear. Generally it's not life threatening if you catch it on time death is rare but is not ruled out. Death or complications occur once the advanced cholesteatoma has eroded the bones, the mastoid pockets, and finally into the brain causing bacterial meningitis. Only one way out of this cholesteatoma is surgical removal procedure. It behaves like a tumor but is non cancerous yet extremely destructive destroying anything in its path. I wish your mother all the best and a quick recovery when she gets this procedure done. Give us an update in the future. I've had this operation done twice in the left ear.
hi there did u symptoms such as sharp or tingling sensation around your head? im going to see a specialist tomorrow im just scared about this surgery u know
Maranda Banks hi i had this surgery like 3 years ago and now i still had tinnitus sometimes i feeling the pain in the back of ear. And how is your recovery going now?
My mother is suffering from sever pain in half of side of her head where surgery done. It has been more than one month of her cortical Mastoidectomy with Tympanoplasty surgery . Is it normal?
if anybody is considering this then let me tell you just try massaging all around your ear with vicks. for me this got rid of my problem and my doctor was very very surprised how from needing surgery I went to having a nearly normal ear. worth a try since there's no harm with vicks right?
if someone needs this surgery due to cholesteatoma Vick's WILL NOT do anything. Surgery is the only way to handle cholesteatoma. just my PSA for those out there with ctoma... :)
I'm glad I decided to watch this before the surgery. I feel like if I start hearing drills while I'm under, I'll be left with a bad case of insomnia. DX
I've had 3 of these. The first one was brutal. Synthetic hearing bones, graphed ear canal and an eardrum made from my jaw muscle....5 years later I can hear out of it now. Can't ever get it wet, though.
My son is having this done in 2 weeks I’m a nervous wreck. Do they replace the drilled out bone with titanium or anything when they are finished? Sorry if that’s a stupid question just new at this and worried.
Might need to get this surgery, dumb question but could I keep the bone afterward, or is it just gonna be dust because it was drilled away? Just want to know because it would be kinda metal to have it on a necklace or something.
I was suffering for Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM), it's unsafe and conductive hearing loss. So, I had surgery two days ago but I don't know if I'll be able to hear again or not. My surgeon is Doctor B.C Roy from Guwahati India.
I’m likely to have this done and I’m pretty nervous. I’ve had drainage from a cholesteatoma for over 15 years, and substantial hearing loss that was never diagnosed until now and I'm worried about the damage that's been done.
I have to done this surgery but my age is 70+ is it advisable , please let me the good hospital in coimbatore and how many hours it takes this andwill be with general anesthesia
I had this surgery 9 years ago which destroyed all the middle eye bones after which I was fitted with a prosthesis. I am now basically deaf in my right ear. I then had this surgery for the second time last week Thursday.I'm healing quite nicely, except still a little starry-eyed. Unfortunately, the Cholesteatoma left a hole in my balance organ this time which they reconstructed with bone dust and cartilage. They also put back my prosthesis which was dislodged over the years. I am hoping I am hoping this is gone for good this time and that the prosthesis will return some of my hearing again!
Nolan I am from South Africa and had the surgery here very successfully...just came back from my first check up to remove the packing....ear feels amazing now !
I had it done in 2014 as well.. reconstructed middle ear bones.. my doctor was out of Dallas.. and I had a prosthesis as well.. it’s what’s called a Dornhoffer footplate shoe.. Recently I have felt like the infection may have returned.. appointment is set for next month.
Greetings from Greece and thank you very much for this informative video. One question: At the end of the video you mention eardrum and bone may be removed, is it to avoid future inflammations? Is the patient going to lose hearing permanently? I have chronic otitis and always suffering from eardrum fluttering, and probably ear drum perforation but lately symptoms have skyrocketed and i started thinking of going into surgery so i am having some questions. I know i should ask my local doctor about them but it would be extremely helpful to listen to other doctors' opinions as well.
thank you for the video, it is excellent. However, you might want to consider removing the music- it's nostalgic and emotional- not the most appropriate thing for a video about surgery.
I had undergone that surgery couple of years back but still I am facing the problem of fluid buildup and huge loss in hearing please suggest me on what I should do 😓 I am getting fed up with visiting my doctor , I usually have my ear suctioned every 2-3o months 😭
If you have a mastoid cavity, you can have it obliterated (filled) as to prevent debris from collecting within the cavity. Bear in mind each operation carries risks. I had this done recently and my facial nerve was accidentally severed during the process leaving me with problems I did not have before. Always weigh up the pros and cons.
They don't go into the cranium unless the cholestiatoma has been ignored for some time. Catch it early enough and the worse case scenario is they remove all of the inner and middle ear. Deafness is better than death.
I’m having my 3rd surgery the first time the infection was almost at my brain lining they did a mastoid ectomy but didn’t remove everything and it came back after gettin the implant.
Had this surgery 3 times on my right ear but a total of 5 surgeries including reconstructive surgery which actually took more of my hearing instead of fixing it like they intended. I'm completely deaf in my right ear now. Does anyone else who has also had this surgery have any leakage? It smells and makes me disoriented - I'm afraid it's come back again...I haven't had a proper check up since my last surgery at 15 so about a decade ago.
Beckuh Kuhn I'm in the same boat, I've have 3 proceedures in total and I've noticed it behaving like an "infection" but no pain, I have no insurance so I'm well overdue for a checkup.
5 SURGERIES!! WTF? Find another surgeon. It should have been fixed with one surgery, hearing loss is normal for this kind of operation, its radical surgery. The only way that cholestiatoma can be eradicated completely is by removing the inner and middle ear.
16 years on from my mastoid op and I'm still having way too many problems. The tinnitus, the regular visits to ent for aural toilets, regular runny discharge! Im so over it!!!
@@boitumelochauke1953 i had operated radical mastidectomy since last 8 months,but now feeling an unexplained pain in head right above the operated ear .i m so confused that why paining at head portion ?
I had this done on 1/3/19 when I was 42. I suffer from chronic ear infection for yrs. 2018 I lived on antibiotics for ear infection with my PCP. When I seen another doctor in the clinic he seen how many times I was in there for earaches an he sent me to ENT where am MRI showed up my cholesteatoma. After yrs of being treated for inner ear infection n vertigo. Was set up with the best doctor around at UAMS in Little Rock Dr. Dornhoffer. Great doctor and staff.
just had this done friday the 13th and three days later head swelled up like a basketball developed a hematoma that put me back in hospital for 3 more days some of the worst pain ive ever felt they took a tool stuck it into my incision and slid it under my skin to the clot and then shoved a tube into it to suck it out i could hear the membrane between my scalp and skull being pried apart to the location was awake the whole time only used local anesthetic for that it was worse feeling than the tympanic mastoidectemy
@@naomivillegas3343 op was good. I just felt a bit off balance for a few days. And couldn’t really hear well. 3 weeks on my hearing is slowly coming back
No. if doc needs a little space, he/she may shave a little around or behind the ear. Up to the doc though. I've had it where they didn't shave anything.
@@tmitchell3131 how about now? did your tinitus ever go away or hearing get better? thanks for the reply mate i havnt found anybody yet who has had the operation
@@joshturner9766 my tinnitus hasn't completely gone but it is a hell of alot better! Overall a lot less pain than I was in before! The scar behind my ear is very minimal aswell!
@@tmitchell3131 yes if you have this surgery like only for one time the scar is literally not that big and also just melts with the skin and mostly it hides behind our ear how are you now btw

i had op radical mastidectomy before 8 months,the most teasing thing which i feeling is ,that my jaw is still paining where ear operated.another worry is that there is a severe persisting pain in my head right above the op ear,my question is ,this head pain is due to ear surgery or any other reason.pain in head and neck i dont know what should i do,the doctor prescribed pain reliefs but it doesnt working on pain

@@duaajavaid402 I am too late now, but I only hear about 35-40 % on the ear, I have to wait year and a half for the second surgery now.
Thank God for whoever invented anesthesia
😂😂
Thank you so much
This video helped me a lot understanding the surgeries 🙏
This was an absolute genius!!!
i had same operation 25 days ago and it was little bit painful while operation but now i am fine now i am watching this because i want to know how my ear operation was done 😅

Aapko problem kya tha
Ouch, I never knew my surgeon did this, so gross n am so glad my surgeon looked after me n will do again for the other side. Amazing surgeons x
What's your hearing status now?? Are u able to hear completely or if there is ny hearing impairment?
Best channel for procedures
I had one of these when I was six I'm 14 now and have normal hearing but I only just thought to look it up 😂
and i have my surgery tomorrow😓😂
@@929_ishaanm7 Good luck, you'll be fine.
I did it a couple months ago and i did not dare to watch these video's. Only now i can look at it XD. It wasn't as painful as it looks ;) it does not hurt.
How did you know you had to get surgery
The most beautiful video on youtube
Why do people think their surgery/procedure videos need music? Its distracting and inappropriate.
I'm very late to this. But I had the rare case when they have to remove my entie eardrum. Watching this video has made me understand! Like woah! No wonder I was in so much pain, this surgery is crazy.
I can't believe they drilled into my ear like that! And I had the surgery when I was 11.
I got out on my 12th birthday but I could barely celebrate because I was still recovering haha.
Had this operation about 2 years ago after putting up with an infected ear for about 2 years. It lead to having gromits that lasted only 2 day because of the pressure behind my eardrum pushing the gromit out then had mastoid surgery and having tissue from inside my neck to rebuild my ear drum. Not hundred percentin my left ear but haven't had an infection since.x
Do the bones grow back?
Did you had chronic suppurative otitis media?
I had that done back in 1996 because of inner ear infection it was Mastoid Surgery now since everything has been healed and now im getting alot of ringing in my right ear and it wont go away,
I did the surgery 4 days ago on my right ear. It took them more than 6 hours to complete the surgery. The next day after the surgery, my bandage was opened and i got discharged right after that. I think my sense of taste is decreasing specifically on my right tongue. My eardrum is reconstructed and they barely put a wool containing antiseptic and it keeps bleeding out. My ear is in pain like swimming under deep ocean. I mean imagine the pressure. That's how it feel. I hope i will not undergo the surgery again because i saw in the comments some patients said they have the surgery more than 1 time. God bless
hm
randy philip
At this moment how you feel? My brother will have it on June. But he is scared
reply me brother i have in both ears and i am scare hell out
What they discharged you after one day? WOW, I had this surgery two times and, the second one was also 7hrs long, I had to stay in the hospital for 10days each time, last time in 2002. I got operated hear in Austria, and all costs are covered because of universal health insurance. I wonder how many of you got this problems, because of the lack of follow up care from your medical personal. I can hear 85% on my operated ear and go to the doctor every month for a check up, because my left ear can't clean itself. I have no further follow up complications. I'm sorry that you're struggeling.
Randy Philip I had this surgery 4 days ago :( its not good....
I had this kind of operation on my left ear in 2008. My left ear was already deaf when I had the operation. I think the deafness was caused by the infection which must have spread to my inner ear. My consultant told me the disease was extensive whatever that means exactly. I don't know how drastic the operation I had was but I think I was told afterwards that there was some reconstruction. Ten years later it feels OK but is still deaf.
Now I need a similar operation on my right ear. The disease hasn't progressed as much this time. I can still hear well with this ear. I was told that the operation is not urgent. I just hope the problem's been spotted soon enough so that my hearing can be preserved.
I suggest you see an ear, nose throat specialist. He or she will help you. My Physician kept giving me drops for yeas till I went to a specialist he forcthe problem right off. And now I just had my second ( last) surgery still recovering 5 days later. Please do not wait. Good luck.
My right ear is OK now. I had a brilliant pair of surgeons.
I have had this surgery 3 times to remove recurrent cholesteatomas in muy 20's. My ENT was truly amazing and used cartilage from my outer ear (a chunk of the treagus) to rebuild done that was damaged. I was very lucky that I still have my hearing in both ears. I do have to go back and have him do a check this year to decide if I need another. I have always wanted to see it done, and now I have! Thank you very much!
HALLO THE DOKTOR RECOMEND ME SURGERY I HAVE 5MONTH BABY IM BREAST FEEDING PLEASE TELL ME HOW MANY DAYS SVHULD I BE IN HOSPITAL AND IS IT DANGEROUSE?
IAM REALLY afraid of this surgery becoz im worry that it becom worth and need another surgery and becom cancer
Hi, did you have paired subdermal electrodes during operation? Looking forward to your response. Godbless you 🙏
@@yvanl6498 I don't believe so, but they didn't go into that with me. This last surgery ended up being a canal wall down approach and I have an ossicular prosthesis. No hearing aid and I won't have to undergo surgery on that ear again. It was a much more difficult recovery though.
Wow, you help me so much, its is very expensive though. I cant afford it. Thats why im asking. Thank you so much for your help. ☺️🙏
I have this surgery to cure my chronic otitis media
How you feel now. And does your hearing improve
Hi, have you got the paired subdermal electrodes during operation?
@@ReelsStar918 infections are cures.. my hearing are still the same
How long your recovery time?
And do feel normal hearing right now?
I am going to have same surgery this month here in the philippines and i am kinda scared that i loose my hearing.
Thank you
How tough it is 😩😫😖 i'd never be a surgeon 😭 thx for this great edeucated video 💔❤ 🇱🇾
good job👍 can u plz make an animated video on canal wall up n down procedures..?
the surgery process kinda freaked me out
I was undergone the same surgery last year.Now i know what procedures does my doctors done to my ears
no. still the same
Thank you sir for a great vid but it would be better if you have told about complications as well !
My surgery is tomorrow April 20 2016 thanks for the heads up.
My brother us having this done June 26, tell me how yours went.
God bless. How did it go? Why did you have the surgery? How is the healing process?
Will Nance
How you feel at this moment after this surgery was performed
My daughter had this done the day before her first birthday this year and we are now going back in to do a canal wall down due to the infections that she has had since the first surgery. She was born with hers and when they did the first removal it took them 7 hours her facial nerve was exposed and she had to have a bone graft and the ear drum a graft we have yet to do a true hearing test due to the infections that she keeps getting
I hope she’s better now
I hope they didn't have to take all the bone out. I have a huge cavity behind my ear where they took out the bone. Makes my ear sunken in. And the constant ear discharge. Wouldn't wish that on anyone
Nice and cool..! Congratulations.
Can this cause cartridge damage years later.... or the loss of cartridge?
I had this procedure four times (twice in both ears) as a child. I'm partially deaf to this day but if I hadn't had the procedure I would have died.
please tell me the symptoms you had. my mother has the same problem
Vertigo
Titnitis
Hearing loss
Foul smelling discharge (yellow or white)
Eroding of the middle ear bones
Fullness feeling in ear
Fluid buildup/drainage
Infections
Cracking or popping sensations
Eustation tube dysfunction
Hole in ear drum
General feeling of unwell
Mild fever
..just to name a few
Your mother may have all, some or none of these symptoms. It's best to see an ent and get a CT Scan of the middle ear. Generally it's not life threatening if you catch it on time death is rare but is not ruled out. Death or complications occur once the advanced cholesteatoma has eroded the bones, the mastoid pockets, and finally into the brain causing bacterial meningitis. Only one way out of this cholesteatoma is surgical removal procedure. It behaves like a tumor but is non cancerous yet extremely destructive destroying anything in its path. I wish your mother all the best and a quick recovery when she gets this procedure done. Give us an update in the future. I've had this operation done twice in the left ear.
hi there did u symptoms such as sharp or tingling sensation around your head? im going to see a specialist tomorrow im just scared about this surgery u know
Jodie I've had this surgery as well and have no ear wall on my left hear and hearing loss
Maranda Banks hi i had this surgery like 3 years ago and now i still had tinnitus sometimes i feeling the pain in the back of ear. And how is your recovery going now?
My mother is suffering from sever pain in half of side of her head where surgery done. It has been more than one month of her cortical Mastoidectomy with Tympanoplasty surgery . Is it normal?
if anybody is considering this then let me tell you just try massaging all around your ear with vicks. for me this got rid of my problem and my doctor was very very surprised how from needing surgery I went to having a nearly normal ear. worth a try since there's no harm with vicks right?
Hi Fraaz, did your doctor advised you of surgery and applying vicks solved the problem without undergoing surgery? kindly revert..
+Khaja Pasha Mohammed yes this worked for me. prayers also.
if someone needs this surgery due to cholesteatoma Vick's WILL NOT do anything. Surgery is the only way to handle cholesteatoma. just my PSA for those out there with ctoma... :)
Outstanding presentation
Wow it looks quite complicated it is all so amazing and what they can do
I'm glad I decided to watch this before the surgery. I feel like if I start hearing drills while I'm under, I'll be left with a bad case of insomnia. DX
How did it go mate?
Thank you 💙
I've had 3 of these. The first one was brutal. Synthetic hearing bones, graphed ear canal and an eardrum made from my jaw muscle....5 years later I can hear out of it now. Can't ever get it wet, though.
My son is having this done in 2 weeks I’m a nervous wreck. Do they replace the drilled out bone with titanium or anything when they are finished? Sorry if that’s a stupid question just new at this and worried.
Was wondering the same thing as I’m gonna be having this done soon
Might need to get this surgery, dumb question but could I keep the bone afterward, or is it just gonna be dust because it was drilled away? Just want to know because it would be kinda metal to have it on a necklace or something.
Well done very helpful video
Thank you very much for this
really it’s good vedio 🌱🌱🌱
I’m having my 2nd complete Obliteration from inner to middle and outer ear canal, then skin graft
I was suffering for Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM), it's unsafe and conductive hearing loss. So, I had surgery two days ago but I don't know if I'll be able to hear again or not. My surgeon is Doctor B.C Roy from Guwahati India.
How are you now?
I’m possibly getting this surgery soon. Do y oh have packing in the ear canal. If so for how long and how does it feel.
I remember being scared when I got this two years ago. good luck to anyone getting it now
I’m likely to have this done and I’m pretty nervous. I’ve had drainage from a cholesteatoma for over 15 years, and substantial hearing loss that was never diagnosed until now and I'm worried about the damage that's been done.
Hi Daniel! How are you doing now?
Cassini Jr. what’s the update, you underwent this surgery?
@Cassini Jr. How are you doing now?
@Cassini Jr. same awaiting appointment letter spent all last week in the hospital on iv antibiotics
Super explained
I have to done this surgery but my age is 70+ is it advisable , please let me the good hospital in coimbatore and how many hours it takes this andwill be with general anesthesia
Had both ears done just happy not cleaning out infections every day il take a lil hearing loss if thats the end result
Thank you!
Awesome!
I had this surgery 9 years ago which destroyed all the middle eye bones after which I was fitted with a prosthesis. I am now basically deaf in my right ear.
I then had this surgery for the second time last week Thursday.I'm healing quite nicely, except still a little starry-eyed. Unfortunately, the Cholesteatoma left a hole in my balance organ this time which they reconstructed with bone dust and cartilage. They also put back my prosthesis which was dislodged over the years.
I am hoping I am hoping this is gone for good this time and that the prosthesis will return some of my hearing again!
Are you from the US? Could you tell me what is the cost of the surgery? I live in a country where I can't get it done.
Nolan I am from South Africa and had the surgery here very successfully...just came back from my first check up to remove the packing....ear feels amazing now !
I had it done in 2014 as well.. reconstructed middle ear bones.. my doctor was out of Dallas.. and I had a prosthesis as well.. it’s what’s called a Dornhoffer footplate shoe.. Recently I have felt like the infection may have returned.. appointment is set for next month.
My ears are burning after this surgery there possible for hearing the sound
Fantastic..
Thanks
Ok so i recently had this but my hearing hasnt been improved is that bad
Greetings from Greece and thank you very much for this informative video.
One question: At the end of the video you mention eardrum and bone may be removed, is it to avoid future inflammations? Is the patient going to lose hearing permanently?
I have chronic otitis and always suffering from eardrum fluttering, and probably ear drum perforation but lately symptoms have skyrocketed and i started thinking of going into surgery so i am having some questions. I know i should ask my local doctor about them but it would be extremely helpful to listen to other doctors' opinions as well.
As a greek, do you also get chronic ear infections?
It was amazing
Hi, does anyone know if a hearing aide will help restore some hearing ?? I've lost hearing in right, left has hearing loss ??
Talk to your doctor. Don't ask for advice from RUclips. Wake up and hear the coffee.
what about this empty cavity ??? They just covered it with skin how
Nice video.
brilliant wow!!
thank you for the video, it is excellent. However, you might want to consider removing the music- it's nostalgic and emotional- not the most appropriate thing for a video about surgery.
Exactlyy!
I agree, it made me very emotional and angry, so much so, that I punched my bed, almost sheding a tear.
What? Maybe AC-DC's Thunderstruck would have been better?
omgg...so true!!!!
I can't stop crying....its literally the saddest surgery I've ever seen!
He didn't remove it...
I had undergone that surgery couple of years back but still I am facing the problem of fluid buildup and huge loss in hearing please suggest me on what I should do 😓 I am getting fed up with visiting my doctor , I usually have my ear suctioned every 2-3o months 😭
If you have a mastoid cavity, you can have it obliterated (filled) as to prevent debris from collecting within the cavity. Bear in mind each operation carries risks. I had this done recently and my facial nerve was accidentally severed during the process leaving me with problems I did not have before. Always weigh up the pros and cons.
Awesome!!!
So what is done to repair the huge hole now in the cranium?
That's what I was wondering
Nothing. eventually bone remodels.
Soderstrom Family email what do you mean?
bone reforms to fill the "hole" left in the skull. It's not always such a big area that they drill away, also.
They don't go into the cranium unless the cholestiatoma has been ignored for some time. Catch it early enough and the worse case scenario is they remove all of the inner and middle ear. Deafness is better than death.
I’m having my 3rd surgery the first time the infection was almost at my brain lining they did a mastoid ectomy but didn’t remove everything and it came back after gettin the implant.
Voltou o colesteatoma depois dessa cirurgia?
Had this surgery 3 times on my right ear but a total of 5 surgeries including reconstructive surgery which actually took more of my hearing instead of fixing it like they intended. I'm completely deaf in my right ear now. Does anyone else who has also had this surgery have any leakage? It smells and makes me disoriented - I'm afraid it's come back again...I haven't had a proper check up since my last surgery at 15 so about a decade ago.
Beckuh Kuhn I'm in the same boat, I've have 3 proceedures in total and I've noticed it behaving like an "infection" but no pain, I have no insurance so I'm well overdue for a checkup.
Oh man, don't be wasting time, get in to the doctor fast!
I feel as if organic non gmo Cocao powder makes my ear feel better
5 SURGERIES!! WTF? Find another surgeon. It should have been fixed with one surgery, hearing loss is normal for this kind of operation, its radical surgery. The only way that cholestiatoma can be eradicated completely is by removing the inner and middle ear.
I have had about 9 surgeries for one ear
16 years on from my mastoid op and I'm still having way too many problems. The tinnitus, the regular visits to ent for aural toilets, regular runny discharge! Im so over it!!!
Me also, I have regular infections/ discharge especially if water goes in. But I'm glad that pain is gone, anything else I can tolerate
@@boitumelochauke1953 i had operated radical mastidectomy since last 8 months,but now feeling an unexplained pain in head right above the operated ear .i m so confused that why paining at head portion ?
I have to have this done as an adult
I should have never put off my bad ears were always infected, and I never took it seriously
I had this done on 1/3/19 when I was 42. I suffer from chronic ear infection for yrs. 2018 I lived on antibiotics for ear infection with my PCP. When I seen another doctor in the clinic he seen how many times I was in there for earaches an he sent me to ENT where am MRI showed up my cholesteatoma. After yrs of being treated for inner ear infection n vertigo. Was set up with the best doctor around at UAMS in Little Rock Dr. Dornhoffer. Great doctor and staff.
Awesome
عالی بود👌دستتون طلا⚘
excellent video. thanku
My son is 10 and he’s having this done next week. He’s had no hearing loss and we caught it early but I’m still scared.
How is your son doing?
The surgery performed was modified radical mastectomy right?!
But does the bone heal or it just remains as a hollow part close to brain, and if yes how much time it takes to heal
just had this done friday the 13th and three days later head swelled up like a basketball developed a hematoma that put me back in hospital for 3 more days some of the worst pain ive ever felt they took a tool stuck it into my incision and slid it under my skin to the clot and then shoved a tube into it to suck it out i could hear the membrane between my scalp and skull being pried apart to the location was awake the whole time only used local anesthetic for that it was worse feeling than the tympanic mastoidectemy
Maybe you should've chosen a different DATE to do it & NOT the13th. Ijs
I had this operation today (:
Wow, me too, i had it same day as you. Hope your recovery is going well. 🤗
@@hlongshlongs8729 yeah I’m all good 2 weeks in. Hearing is kinda coming back now. And the bloods stopped trickling out my ear
@@CrickfootGattie how was it? I am about to have this operation soon.
@@naomivillegas3343 op was good. I just felt a bit off balance for a few days. And couldn’t really hear well. 3 weeks on my hearing is slowly coming back
How is your hearing now? Plz tell me my brother is going to have this sirgery very soon
Do you have to sahve your head ?
+GTI M 7 I didn't have to. I didn't even have to shave my beard!
No. if doc needs a little space, he/she may shave a little around or behind the ear. Up to the doc though. I've had it where they didn't shave anything.
I’m a female and they did she some of my hair
Yes
Est-ce que je peux aller à là-bas fois Mamma stoline
I got this surgery may 8. my ears look wider. this is so scary.
Ahhh
Thanks I'm.having this in bone ears soon :( had this bone disease for years and it's almost at my skull
Good luck, hope it goes well!
I had this operation February this year, it's quite a bizarre feeling afterwards!

thanks for the reply mate i havnt found anybody yet who has had the operation
@@joshturner9766 my tinnitus hasn't completely gone but it is a hell of alot better!
Overall a lot less pain than I was in before!
The scar behind my ear is very minimal aswell!
@@tmitchell3131 yes if you have this surgery like only for one time the scar is literally not that big and also just melts with the skin and mostly it hides behind our ear
how are you now btw
