[Plastic reconstruction of mastoid cavity in patients with chronic suppurative otitis media].

The authors describe a mastoidoplasty modification--repair of the retrotympanal cavity with a large osteomusculoperiosteal graft on the lower feeding pedicle. This intervention was conducted in 25 patients with otitis media purulenta chronica with cholesteatoma and in 6 patients with incomplete epidermization of the cavity after radical operation on the ear. Prior to and following the operation turundas containing mixed salts of acid ethers of cellulose, bound calcium ions and antibiotics were inserted into the external acoustic meatus and postoperative cavity. The treatment duration was shorter. The effect was achieved in 27 patients.
