Mastoidectomy
A Mastoidectomy is a surgical procedure that is used to effectively remove an infected portion of the mastoid bone when conventional medical treatment has proven ineffective…
The mastoid bone sits behind the ear and consists of of air spaces that are used to help drain the middle ear. When a middle ear infection is left untreated, it can sometimes result in the mastoid cells becoming inflamed or infected – sometimes causing serious health complications. A mastoidectomy utilises surgical protocols to remove the infected portion of the mastoid bone to relieve the inner ear of infection and allow it to return to normalcy. Our elite ENT surgeons in Melbourne are able to conduct this treatment to relieve patients of chronic and severe infection.
