Helping you understand Our healthcare
A mastoidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove infected mastoid air cells located in the bone behind the ear. It is often required for chronic ear infections or complications such as cholesteatoma.
You may need a mastoidectomy if you have:
• Chronic middle ear infections not responding to treatment
• A cholesteatoma (abnormal skin growth in the ear)
• Persistent ear discharge, pain, or hearing loss
• Risk of infection spreading to the brain or inner ear
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Mild discomfort may occur after surgery but is managed with medications.
Mastoidectomy typically takes between 1.5 to 3 hours depending on the complexity and whether additional procedures like tympanoplasty are needed.
While the surgery significantly reduces the risk of recurrence, infections can sometimes return. Good follow-up care and ear hygiene are essential to prevent future issues.
