Endoscopic Inside-Out Mastoidectomy with the Ultrasonic Bone Aspirator

We report our experience using the ultrasonic bone aspirator (UBA) for transcanal endoscopic “inside out” mastoidectomy. The UBA has irrigation, suction, and nonrotatory ultrasonic bone-removing technology in 1 handpiece, which makes it appropriate for bone removal during this procedure. The results...

description We report our experience using the ultrasonic bone aspirator (UBA) for transcanal endoscopic “inside out” mastoidectomy. The UBA has irrigation, suction, and nonrotatory ultrasonic bone-removing technology in 1 handpiece, which makes it appropriate for bone removal during this procedure. The results of our study show that this technique is safe and effective for patients with cholesteatoma in a small sclerotic mastoid. We also discuss the nuances associated with using the UBA during endoscopic ear surgery.
