SP helps in isolating the cavity from external environment after removal of disease, improves the exposure and access, reduces risk of infection and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks and facilitates CI. Meticulous surgical technique will reduce the complications and long term follow up is needed to detect entrapped cholesteatoma. Subtotal petrosectomy with blind sac closure of external ear canal is required in certain specific situations. It is a safe and effective surgery with acceptable rate of complications.
