Although surgery is rarely urgent, once a cholesteatoma is found, surgical treatment is the only choice. Surgery usually involves a mastoidectomy to remove the disease from the bone, and tympanoplasty to repair the eardrum.

Hi all sifus, anyone had experience on this cholesteatoma surgery? Based on my Google search for past 2 days, all recommended was surgery? It means cannot take medication for cure?
Im now in penang, looking at all options as i was recommended for this surgery due to hearing problems,. After CtScan found some fluid in my middle ear.
May need 2nd or 3rd opinion, any recommendations specialist or penang GH, even in kl is ok.
