Surgical trauma to the soft tissue of the external ear canal and middle ear increases inflammation and scarring. A side-hole suction tip has been found to minimize suction-tip trauma, preclude the need to aspirate through synthetic sponge or cotton, and facilitate graft placement.

Introduction. Etiopathogenetically, there are two types of chollesteatomas: congenital, and acquired. Numerous theories in the literature try to explain the nature of the disease, however, the question about cholesteatomas remain still unanswered. The aim of the study was to present a case of external ear canal cholesteatoma (EEC) developed following microsurgery (ventilation tube insertion and mastoidectomy), as well as to point ant possible mechanisms if its development. Case report. A 16-yearold boy presented a 4-month sense of fullness in the ear and otalgia on the left side. A year before, mastoidectomy and posterior atticotomy were performed with ventilation tube placement due to acute purulent mastoiditis. Diagnosis was based on otoscopy examination, audiology and computed tomography (CT) findings. CT showed an obliterative soft-tissue mass completely filled the external ear canal with associated erosion of subjacent the bone. There were squamous epithelial links between the canal cholesteatoma and lateral tympanic membrane surface. They originated from the margins of tympanic membrane incision made for a ventilation tube (VT) insertion. The position of VT was good as well as the aeration of the middle ear cavity. The tympanic membrane was intact and of normal appearance without middle ear extension or mastoid involvement of cholesteatoma. Cholesteatoma and ventilation tube were both removed. The patient recovered without complications and shortly audiology revealed hearing improving. Follow-up 2 years later, however, showed no signs of the disease. Conclusion. There could be more than one potential delicate mechanism of developing EEC in the ear with VT insertion and mastoidectomy. It is necessary to perform routine otologic surveillance in all patients with tubes. Affected ear CT scan is very helpful in showing the extent of cholesteatoma and bony defects, which could not be assessed by otoscopic examination alone.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the culture antibiogram results of samples obtained directly from the middle ear and/or mastoid cells in the operating room, and from the external auditory canal in the outpatient. Methods: This study was conducted between 2016-2018 in Microbiology and Otorhinolaryngology Department. Swab cultures were obtained through the external ear canal preoperatively in outpatients. Middle ear swabs and mastoid granulation tissue were collected intraoperatively, respectively. Demographic datas, bacterial identifications and antibiotic susceptibilities were compared in both groups. Results: Two hundred thirty eight patients with chronic otitis media were enrolled in the study. Out of the 238 cases, 86 patients had negative culture results. P. aeruginosa (n=44), Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus (n=33), S. aureus (n=27), Proteus mirabilis (n=16) and E. coli (n=10) were the most common grown bacteria in both groups. Most common identified groups were Gram-positive bacteria (n=92), non-fermenter Gram-negative bacteria (n=55) and Enterobactericeae (n=42). Gram-positive cocci were higher in outpatient group, whereas Enterobactericeae were higher in intraoperative group (p<0.05). Antibiotic susceptibilities of P. aeruginosa and S. aureus were found to be lower especially in the preoperative group (p <0.05). Conclusion: P. aeruginosa was the most common bacteria in both preoperative and intraoperative cultures and high ciprofloxacin resistance of the isolates were remarkable. Although contamination is an issue in samples collected from the external ear canal of outpatients using cotton swabs, similar microorganisms grew in outpatient and intraoperative cultures
