What is mastoidectomy surgery?
Mastoidectomy surgery, also known as mastoid bone surgery, is a procedure to remove diseased or damaged tissue from the mastoid bone, which is located behind the ear. It may be recommended to treat certain ear conditions and help protect your ear health.
A mastoidectomy may be recommended if you have ongoing ear infections, a build-up of abnormal tissue in the ear, hearing problems or symptoms that have not improved with other treatments. The aim of surgery is to treat the underlying issue and support better ear function.
What does the procedure involve?
Mastoidectomy surgery involves accessing the area behind the ear to remove affected tissue and treat the problem area. Your specialist will explain what to expect before your operation, including how to prepare, what happens on the day and any aftercare needed to support your recovery.
