When Is a Mastoidectomy Necessary?
Patients may consider a mastoidectomy if they have mastoiditis and it is not responding to antibiotics. If left untreated, the infection could spread to other areas of the skull. Therefore, it is important to be proactive in your treatment and ensure to consult your physician on different treatment options.
A mastoidectomy is necessary if:
- The patient has chronic mastoiditis
- The patient’s condition is not responding to antibiotics
- The infection is spreading

What To Expect
Patients are usually placed under local anesthesia with sedation, although general anesthesia may be used for certain cases. The surgeon makes a small incision over the area where the implant is located. The hardware is gently removed using specialized tools. Because the implant is superficial, minimal dissection is needed. The incision is then closed and covered with a sterile dressing. Recovery is typically quick, with only mild soreness at the removal site. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days.
