INTRODUCTION

• A Mastoidectomy is a surgical procedure that
  removes diseased mastoid air cells. It is also
  performed to remove air bubbles in the skull or
  near the skull.
• This can be done as part of treatment for
  mastoiditis, chronic suppurative otitis media or
  cholesteatoma.
• The main purpose of a mastoidectomy surgery is to
  remove an infection or cholesteatoma which
  spreads to the mastoid bone.
