Abstract
A study of mastoid cavity obliteration by autogenous bone pate (Mastoid Osteoplasty) was carried out on 20 cases of chronic suppurative otitis media of atticoantral type. After thorough eradication of cholesteatoma autogenous bone pate (uninfected) was used alongwith tragal cartilage for obliteration of mastoid cavity and reconstruction of the posteorosuperior meatal wall. 10 (50%) cases resulted in dry stable ear at the end of six months. Relevant literature on the subject has been reviewed and long term follow up is recommended.
