Abstract
When the technique of intact canal wall tympanoplasty (ICWT) was described in 19581, it seemed very promising that this technique would fulfil the two main goals set up for cholesteatoma surgery, namely
-
to eradicate the lesion so thoroughly as to prevent recurrences, and
-
to reconstruct the sound-conducting mechanism in such a way as to achieve maximum possible recovery of hearing.
