Summary

The provider revises a previously performed mastoidectomy in conjunction with a tympanoplasty, or reconstruction of the eardrum. He performs the revision because the prior procedure failed to produce a dry ear, which results in recurrent otitis media accompanied by accumulation of pus, eardrum perforation, and recurrent or residual hearing loss.
