Cholesteatoma surgery method
Hi, I am 30 years old, diagnosed with cholesteatoma. I would like to know how the surgery is performed (Traditional tools or laser assisted-KTP laser, etc) and which method is better to avoid the chances of hearing loss and recurrence? If Laser is better, is there anyone in Bangalore or Chennai doing this with laser with some considerable experience on laser usage? Many thanks.
