Cholesteatoma
Conditions
Brief summary
the main objective of the study is to compare endoscopic transcanal tympanoplasty with attico-antrostomy with endoscopic assisted canal wall up mastoidectomy in treatment of limited attic cholesteatoma.
Interventions
PROCEDUREendoscopic transcanal tympanoplasty with attico-antrostomy
Transcanal approach followed by atticotomy to remove the attic cholesteatoma sac
PROCEDUREendoscopic assisted canal wall up mastoidectomy
traditional canal wall up mastoidectomy followed by endoscopic evaluation of the attic to exclude any remnant cholesteatoma
