An abnormal skin growth in the middle ear behind the eardrum is called Cholesteatoma. Repeated infections or a tear or pulling inward of the eardrum can allow skin into the middle ear. Depending on the procedure, approximately 5-40% of cholesteatoma surgery is unsuccessful. Persistence may appear as early as 5-6 months postoperatively, or it may be delayed for many years. Consequently, close follow-up care is important. For More Visit : www.healthcareinsides.com
