  3. 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.

  4. MASTOIDITIS It is an infection that affects the mastoid bone, located behind the ear. Mastoiditis is usually caused by a middle ear infection. This infection can result in damage to the mastoid bone and the formation of pus-filled cysts.
