It is generally agreed that retained infected residual cell tracts or a too small meatus are common causes for failure of surgery for COM. Radical revision mastoidectomy (RRM) aims to remove all residual cell tracts in the mastoid, in the middle-ear cleft, around the labyrinth and around the Eustachian tube. The mastoid cavity is obliterated with a pedicled muscle flap. Thus the mastoid cavity is reduced and selfcleansing is improved. The first 16 consecutive patients who underwent a RRM for ‘endstage' COM were included in this study. In about 80 per cent the treatment resulted in a dry ear. We, therefore, conclude that RRM is an effective and safe method for treating ‘endstage' COM.
