Management of the mastoid in cases of chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma remains challenging, whether to leave the canal wall up or perform a canal wall down technique continues to be addressed. Keywords: Chronic otitis media. Cholesteatoma, Canal wall mastoidectomy. Objectives Several works have been done on CWD mastoidectomy, therefore it was essential to conduct this study to describe our own experiences with canal wall down mastoidectomy, outlining the common findings, complications and results of these patients in our setting and compare our results with those from other centres in the world.
