PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: A practical course on how to surgically manage those cases of cholesteatoma that keep coming back!
We present our own clinical cases of adult and pediatric cholesteatoma that required revision surgery and in a interactive format, through interpretation of preoperative scans, surgical video clips, pre and post-operative photographs, we analyze the anatomical factors and surgeon's operative decisions that can lead to a successful outcome versus a suboptimal result.

Learning Objectives:

Interpret radiologic images and clinical images of revision cases for cholesteatoma to avoid pitfalls that can lead to recidivistic disease. Discuss whether total endoscopic approach, combined microscopic/endoscopic or decision for open cavity is impactful on surgical outcome.
Analyze technical operative errors and intrinsic anatomical factors that can lead to residual disease or recurrence of the pathology following primary surgery for cholesteatoma.
Discuss safe operative techniques for revision surgery, indications to convert to canal wall down mastoidectomy, revision of a pre-existent Canal Wall Down Cavities and management of cholesteatoma in critical areas.
