Recurrent cholesteatoma of postmastoidectomy cavity - what does this mean
Recurrent cholesteatoma of postmastoidectomy cavity occurs when a cholesteatoma, a noncancerous skin growth, reoccurs in the cavity of the mastoid bone after a mastoidectomy, a surgical procedure to remove the mastoid bone. this is typically caused by inadequate removal of the cholesteatoma during the initial mastoidectomy, allowing residual tissue to remain and grow back.
What happens during the disease - recurrent cholesteatoma of postmastoidectomy cavity
Recurrent cholesteatoma of postmastoidectomy cavity is caused by an incomplete removal of the cholesteatoma during the initial mastoidectomy surgery. the remaining cholesteatoma cells can cause the formation of a new cholesteatoma in the postmastoidectomy cavity due to the presence of a favorable environment for the growth of the cells. this can happen due to inadequate surgical technique, inadequate visualization of the surgical site, and inadequate removal of the cholesteatoma.
