1.The recovering of the radical surgery of mastoid bone by the temporal facio-musscle
Journal of Practical Medicine 2002;435(11):40-41
95% cases of otitis mastoid were sucessfully treated by the reservation and surgery and the rest 5% cases with this were treated by many different methods aiming to management of the hollows of the radical surgery of mastoid bone according to the cause or individuals. The recovering of the partly poor epithelization in the surgical hollow reported effectively. 13 patients received a surgery in the Central Military Hospital 108 during 1987-1996 were studied. The indicators of age, gender, symptoms before receiving operation and status of the surgical hollow were used to classify the result

Exposure to intense noise has been identified as a potential risk in the development of hearing impairment. Social concern about excessive noise is increasing and this also extends to the operating room. A noise level study was performed in the operating room during mastoidectomy with a sound level meter and it was analyzed by a sound-analyzing program. The drilling instruments used included the Stryker, Midas, M.P.S. and Med-Next. The operator was exposed to sound levels from 69 to 83 dBA. The loudest drilling instrument was the Midas and it produced an average sound level of 83 dBA to the operator. The mean exposure time was 41 minutes during mastoidectomy. This is below the occupational noise-level regulations in Korea. However, considering that individual susceptibility to noise varies and that the otologic surgeon is repeatedly exposed to prolonged drilling noise, ear protection is recommended for the operators of high-speed drilling instruments.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the new method of modified skin flap of external canal in auditory canal shaping to enlarge at radical mastoidectomy in endaural incision.
METHOD:
From 1999 to 2009, 412 patients with 428 ears in operation were randomly divided into two groups. Patients underwent open mastoidectomy and some patients were performed concurrent tympanoplasty. A group (control group)were operated in traditional skin flap of external canal, B group is modified group. Bleed and effusion from the wound surface, the time of dry ear and the change of diameter of extermal acoustic meatus after one year were observed after the surgeries and deal the results with SPSS.
RESULT:
The difference had statistical significance in bleed and effusion from the wound surface, the time of dry ear and the shrink of external acoustic meatus in 12 months among two groups.
CONCLUSION
Modified skin flap of external canal in auditory canal shaping to enlarge can help to make a no-wound dehiscence by wiping out the raw surface of external acoustic meatus. It is better than traditional skin flap of external canal.

Aneurysmal bone cyst of mastoid bone is seldom, here one case was reported. The mastoid bone of the patient presented with a baloon-like swelling full of non-coagulated blood and serous-hemorrhagic fluid. CT scan demonstrated a large expansile destructive mass located in left mastoid bone region with the thin or absent cortical bone. The MRI demonstrated T2-weighted images and clear boudary from surrounding tissue. Pathologic reported that the mastoid bone was repalcement with lacunar divided by fibro-tissue, containing numerous hemosiderin, giant cells and inflammatory cells. A surgery was performed and the patient was cured.

Pneumolabyrinth or pneumocochlea is an uncommon condition in which the vestibule or cochlea is filled with air. Although there have been several reports about pneumolabyrinth after stapes surgery, it is rarely found in temporal bone fractures. The presence of air inside the inner ear is a definite proof of a pathological connection between the inner ear and the air-filled mastoid or middle ear cavities. We encountered a rare case of a 45-years-old male with a pneumolabyrinth that resulted from a blunt head trauma. A pneumolabyrinth was resolved spontaneously.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the mastoidectomy and ventilation tube placement for refractory secretory otitis media of clinical efficacy and mechanism.
METHOD:
Retrospective analysis of 22 patients (33 ears) in refractory secretory otitis media, all patients treated by ventilation tube placement have 3 or more than 3 times, but not significantly alleviate the symptoms. Mastoid surgery and ventilation tube placement were basic surgical management. Tympanic membrane ventilation tube was pulled out at 3 to 6 months.
RESULT:
Twenty-two patients perceived improvement of hearing after surgery, ear fullness disappeared; tympanic membrane was gray, no significant tympanic membrane mobility is limited; 33 ears conductive hearing loss, air-bone gap(13.54 +/- 4.86) dB; after 29 ears tympanograms showed A-type, 4 ears for C-type, 30 ears appear ipsilateral acoustic reflex.
CONCLUSION
For 3 or more than 3 times repeated ventilation tube insertion, patients more than 2 years of refractory secretory otitis media were treated with mastoidectomy and ventilation tube placement, it was satisfied that ears lesions were cleaned and expanded middle ear and mastoid air cell volume, good drainage of the tympanic membrane ventilation tube.

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the value of intact canal wall mastoidectomy and tympanoplasty in treating patients with cholesteatoma of the middle ear and mastoid.
METHOD:
Fifty-seven patients underwent intact canal wall mastoidectomy and tympanoplasty.
RESULT:
In all cases who had been followed up for 1-8 years, 5 ears were infected, 2 patients needed second operation, and 3 ears suffered from cholesteatoma recurrence. Tympanic membrane of 29 ears kept integrity although with pocket retraction to some extent. Extrusion of the prosthesis occurred in 2 cases. The postoperative audiometric measurement (the average hearing threshold at 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 kHz HL) was improved by more than 10 dB HL in 39 ears (72.2%), the mean air bone gap (ABG) of 29 ears was reduced to less than 20 dB HL.
CONCLUSION
Intact canal wall technique could remain anatomical structure and improve hearing effectually in treating the patients with cholesteatoma in the middle ear and mastoid.
