Abstract
INTRODUCTION/OBJECTIVES: Cholesteatoma is a benign epithelial lesion within the middle ear or mastoid air cell spaces. It acts locally destructive, may be congenital, but is usually acquired and caused by chronic otitis media. Conductive hearing loss is a symptom, but may also be a result of surgery
aimed at cholesteatoma removal. There are multiple surgical strategies aimed at hearing restoration.
