How is Mastoidectomy Diagnosed?

An ENT doctor diagnoses the need for mastoidectomy through:

Checking for recurring infections or ear discharge.
Using a special device to look inside the ear canal and eardrum.
To measure hearing loss.
To assess the extent of infection or cholesteatoma growth in the mastoid bone.
To identify bacterial or fungal infections.

Diagnosis ensures that mastoidectomy is only advised when absolutely necessary.

Advanced Treatment Options for Mastoidectomy

At Pristyn Care Archana, advanced surgical techniques are used to ensure safe and effective treatment. The most common types include:

Simple Mastoidectomy: Removal of infected mastoid air cells without disturbing middle ear structures.
Radical Mastoidectomy: Removal of infected mastoid bone and middle ear structures when infection is extensive.
Modified Radical Mastoidectomy: A balance between simple and radical approaches, preserving hearing structures while clearing infection.
Laser-assisted Mastoidectomy: A minimally invasive method that uses laser energy to precisely remove infected tissue, reducing bleeding and improving recovery.

Recovery Time

Recovery after mastoidectomy varies depending on the type of surgery and the patient’s overall health. Generally, patients can resume light activities within a week, but complete healing may take 4 to 6 weeks. Full recovery of ear function and hearing improvement may take longer, depending on the extent of infection treated.

What to Expect: Before, During & After Procedure

Before the Procedure: The doctor will conduct necessary diagnostic tests, review medical history, and advise on fasting before anesthesia.

During the Procedure: The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes a small incision behind the ear and removes infected mastoid air cells. Advanced techniques such as laser may be used for precision.

After the Procedure: Patients are kept under observation for a few hours. Mild pain, swelling, and drainage from the ear are common initially. Antibiotics and pain relievers are prescribed to prevent infection and aid healing.

Recovery Timeline & Post-Treatment Care

First Week: Rest, avoid pressure on the operated ear, and take prescribed medications.
2 to 3 Weeks: Stitches heal, swelling reduces, and drainage stops.
4 to 6 Weeks: Patients can resume normal activities and notice improvements in ear health and hearing.
Post-surgery Care: Avoid swimming, heavy lifting, or inserting anything into the ear. Follow-up appointments are crucial for monitoring healing progress.
