Abstract

Objective: To study the surgical healing outcomes at the end of three month post-operative period. Material and method: This was a hospital based prospective observational study with three months postoperative follow up design. The study was conducted for a total duration of two years and 6 months from July 2019 to January 2022 with 67 study participants. The study was carried out in the hospital setting at the department of ENT in a tertiary care hospital in south India. Individuals from all age groups who were diagnosed with Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media-Attico Antral Disease (CSOM-AAD) with or without extracranial complications are eligible for Mastoidectomy. Results: A significant association was observed between preoperative polyp and post-operative size of the mastoid cavity with epithelization of fascial graft. A significant association was observed between the postoperative Merchant’s grade(otorrhea) and the size of the meatoplasty opening. A very strong association was appreciated between the presence of epithelization in the graft (OR: 0.18; p-value: <0.001) and the smaller size of the mastoid cavity after surgery. A significant association was appreciated between the duration of symptoms and epithelization of the fascial graft (OR: 0.23; p-value: 0.004). Conclusion: It was concluded that the duration of symptoms, size of mastoid cavity, size of meatoplasty opening, and presence of preoperative polyp have significant effects in determining post operative healing in post mastoidectomy patients.
