Description
Erica Aranha Suzumura, Annegret Hoch, and Michael Urban evaluate the cost effectiveness of ear surgery followed by hearing reconstruction for cholesteatoma. Their 2025 study deals with an abnormal skin growth in the middle ear that can destroy the ossicular chain.
A Markov model compared canal-wall-down mastoidectomy alone with the same surgery plus an active transcutaneous bone conduction implant. The implant could be placed at surgery or after one, two, three, or five years. Outcomes over a lifetime were quality-adjusted life years and costs. The results are meant to support the design of a future clinical study, by showing which timing, if any, gives good value.
