A mastoidectomy is a procedure performed to remove the mastoid air cells, air bubbles in the skull, near the inner ears. This can be done as part of treatment for mastoiditis, chronic suppurative otitis media or cholesteatoma.
Mastoiditis is a serious infection of the mastoid bone in your inner ear. It can develop from an untreated middle ear infection. It is more common in children than adults.
