Re: Re: Attico-antrostomy for cholesteatoma

Thank you Cris

The article sounded like what I had done and pleased the results looking good. They called it atticotomy and inside/out mastoid to me - CWU (i assume), but that was the medical term. My ear drum too is sucked in and the c-toma was well and truly stuck to it!
