OBJECTIVE
This article describes a new canalplasty technique for the treatment of symptoms resulting from chronic refractory otitis externa.
METHODS
We report on our experience using a swing-door island flap and a periosteal flap. Thirteen patients underwent treatment and a total of 19 ears were operated on. The range of preoperative symptoms was 3 to 22 years (mean length of symptoms = 12 years).
RESULTS
The postoperative course in all the patients showed this to be a satisfactory treatment with no recurrence of symptoms.
CONCLUSION
The swing-door island flap canalplasty technique is an effective surgical treatment in patients with refractory otitis externa.
