In this video, we continue the discussion on complications in ear surgery, focusing on the intricacies of Mastoidectomy. As mentioned in our previous video, Mastoidectomy is a procedure often performed when infections or conditions like Cholesteatoma affect the bones within the ear. Join me as we delve into the potential complications associated with Mastoidectomy. One critical concern is the facial nerve, which runs through the temporal bone. We explore the rare variations in facial nerve routes and the minimal but crucial risk of facial nerve injuries (less than two percent). Discover the corrective measures available, including facial nerve decompression and nerve grafting. Learn about the delicate balance between the brain and the temporal bone, where abnormalities in bone positioning could pose challenges during surgery. Understand how accidental entry into this space is identified and addressed on the operating table. Explore the risks of significant bleeding in the sinus behind the ear, a surgically sensitive area with venous blood flow. Uncover the potential complications arising from abnormal bone positions or thin bones that may lead to bleeding, requiring immediate surgical intervention. Delve into the complexities of inner ear damage, particularly the Labyrinth and its semi-circular canals. Accidental openings in this region during surgery can result in dizziness and balance issues, impacting the patient's postoperative experience.
