What is the difference between mid fossa and transmastoid approach for scds repair? not much info online about transmastoid. how is it done?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
SCD Repair: The middle fossa approach involves opening up the brain cavity above the ear while the transmastoid approach goes behind the ear and does not involve the brain cavity. The anatomy of the defect will usually determine the approach.
