Abstract
The results of 37 cases surgically treated with the modified Bondy technique during a 6-year period at the Gruppo Otologico-Piacenza, Italy, are reported. This technique, indicated in epitympanic cholesteatoma with good hearing and intact ossicular chain and pars tensa, provides a one-stage mastoid cavity exteriorization with radical removal of cholesteatoma while preserving the preoperative hearing levels. The technique, indications, results, and comparison with other current techniques are discussed in this article.
