Objectives: The purpose of this study is to observe the surgical outcomes of chronic suppurative otitis media. 1. To assess the result of surgical procedure to obtain dry and safe ears. 2. To assess the hearing levels after surgery. 3. To observe the complications that occur during the operation and in the immediate postoperative period
Methods: A total 60 patients with CSOM (active squamous variety) who underwent tympanomastoid surgery studied in a period of 1 year from July 2013 to June 2014 at CMH Dhaka.
