Endoscopic Transcanal Tympanoplasty With Attico-antrostomy Versus Endoscopic-assisted Canal Wall up Mastoidectomy in Management of Localized Cholesteatoma: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Endoscopic Transcanal Tympanoplasty With Attico-antrostomy Versus Endoscopic-assisted Canal Wall up Mastoidectomy in Management of Localized Cholesteatoma: A Randomized Clinical Trial

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Cases of cholesteatoma limited to the middle ear and/or attic but not extending beyond the posterior end of the lateral semicircular canal (LSCC) proved radiologically with computed tomography (CT) scan

Exclusion Criteria:

• Cases in which cholesteatoma extended beyond the attic were excluded as being potentially beyond the limits of the TEES approach
