What are the Types of Mastoidectomy Surgeries
- Simple mastoidectomy- It is the standard surgery, where an incision is made and using a surgical drill the mastoid bones are opened and the deceased cells and infected tissues are removed.
- Radical mastoidectomy- Radical mastoid surgery, is a little different from simple. In this, along with the infected tissues and mastoid air cells, a few middle ear structures, ear canal and eardrum are removed.
- Modified radical mastoidectomy- This surgery is performed to remove the infected tissues and cells. It is different from radical because this surgery specialises in treating cholesteatoma. Cholesteatoma is a collection of dead cells that causes hearing loss.
- Canal wall-up mastoidectomy- Cortical mastoidectomy, this type of mastoidectomy is mainly done to treat acute mastoiditis with the main objective of protecting and preserving canal walls during the surgery.
- Canal wall down mastoidectomy- Tympanomastoidectomy, is performed when a complete ear canal is damaged and infected. In this, the canal wall is removed completely to throw out the disease from the roots.

Mastoidectomy is performed by the surgeons after some tests.
Diagnosis tests:
- An X-ray of the mastoid region.

Mastoidectomy: procedure-
- After detecting the mastoid bone that needs to be treated, an overall health checkup is done.
