Introduction
One of the goals of surgery for chronic otitis media (COM) with cholesteatoma is elimination of disease
Residual or recurrent cholesteatoma may happen Residual cholesteatoma develops from a remnant of
keratinized epithelium left behind from a previous procedure.
The rate of residual cholesteatoma is reported to vary from 5% to 50%*

MESNA (Sodium 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate)
It is a synthetic sulfur compound and belongs to a class of thiol compounds that produce mucolysis by disrupting disulfide bonds of the mucous polypeptide chains .
It has been used in a variety of disorders such as mucolytic agent for pulmonary disorders* and protective agent against the toxicity of some chemotherapotic agents.

The matrix of cholesteatoma is mainly composed of keratin, which has disulfide bonds
MESNA can be used during ear surgeries such as cholesteatoma or athelectatic ears to make simpler the dissection of tissue layers because of its disrupting effect on disulfide bonds*
This effect facilitates totally dissection of cholesteatoma matrix.

Does MESNA has any side effect on hearing? Vincenti et al reported that there was no side effect of Mesna
application into the middle ear on hearing Thus let the some surgeons to use Mesna during cholesteatoma
surgery

The aim of this study
The purpose of this study was to compare the residual cholesteatoma rates between MESNA used and non-used cholesteatoma surgeries performed by the same author
Materials and Methods The research protocol was approved by the
Inonu University Clinical Researchs Ethic committee (2011/68)
934 patients, who underwent tympanoplasty and/or mastoidectomy by the same surgeon between September 2000 and March 2012 in the department of Otolaryngology, Inonu University, Turkey, were analysed during this retrospective study
Materials and Methods
224 of 934 patients had cholesteatoma. For these patients, canal wall down (CWD) or canal wall up (CWU) mastoidectomy was performed using standard retroauricular incisions under general anesthesia with or withoud MESNA application.
Materials and Methods MESNA was diluted by saline
(20% MESNA and 80% saline) and applied during the surgery
After waiting approximately 5 minutes, cholesteatoma matrix was dissected by using dissector or cotton similarly with MESNA non-used group
Materials and Methods
145/224; CWD mastoidectomy 79 / 224; CWU mastoidectomy 63/224; MESNA used
41; CWD mastoidectomy 22; CWU mastoidectomy
161/224; MESNA non-used 104; CWD mastoidectomy 57 ; CWU mastoidectomy
Materials and Methods
The patients followed-up at least 1 year. Postoperative follow-up was performed by
otoscopic examination If it was necessary magnetic resonans
imaging and/or second look tympanoplasty was performed.
Residuel cholesteatoma rates for mesna applied and non-applied groups were compared using pearson Chi-square test.
Results MESNA used group;
46/63 patients were routinely followed up at least one year, postoperatively
The mean follow-up period was 35.2 months, with a range of 12 to 65 months
There were 26 male and 20 female The ages of the patients ranged from 6 to 64 (mean, 27.3) CWD or CWU mastoidectomy was performed for 24 and 22 patients,
respectively Residual cholesteatoma developed in 3 patients with a 6.5% ratio Residual cholesteatoma was noted in 1 of 22 patients with CWU and 2 of
24 with CWD mastoidectomy The mean age of residual cholesteatoma’s group was 15,7 (6, 7, and 34
years old) Two children had CWD mastoidectomy while the older had CWU
Results MESNA non-used group;
95/161 patients came to the routine postoperative follow-up at least one year
The mean follow-up period for this group was 39.1 months, with a range of 12 to 134 months
Fourty-five of the patients were male and 50 female The mean age was 31.4 with a range 11 to 58 years old CWD or CWU mastoidectomy surgery was performed for 56 and 39
patients, respectively Residual cholesteatoma was seen in 17 patients with a 17.9% ratio Residual cholesteatoma was noted in 9 of 56 patients with CWD
and 8 of 39 with CWU The mean age for residual cholesteatoma’s group was 29.4
(range, 13-58 years old).
Results
The residual cholesteatoma was seen significantly higher in MESNA non-applied group than MESNA applied group (pearson Chi-square test; p=0.045)
When we compared demographics of the groups with each other, no statistically significance was found (pearson Chi-square test; p=0.239)
There was no statistically significance residual cholesteatoma rate between CWD and CWU mastoidectomy procedures (pearson Chi-square test; p=0.686).
Discussion
One of the main goals for successful surgery for COM with cholesteatoma is to completely eradicate the disease
After middle ear cholesteatoma surgery high residual rates is one of the main problems, which is reported to vary from 5% to 54 %
Residual cholesteatoma is cholesteatoma felt to be left behind from a previous procedure and thence not secondary to a retraction pocket.
To solve this problem, surgeons have been discussing on it for a long time
Discussion The surgical treatment of cholesteatoma has been
conducted by two methods The choice between canal wall up (CWU) and canal wall
down (CWD) tympanoplasty techniques to decrease cholesteatoma recurrence remains controversial
Although most studies have revealed lower recurrent/residual cholesteatoma rates after CWD than CWU mastoidectomy*, some others has good results after CWU mastoidektomy**

Discussion
In the current study;
In 80/141 case with CWD mastoidectomy, 11 residual cholesteatoma (13,75 %)
In 61/141 case with CWU mastoidectomy, 9 residual cholesteatoma (14,75 %)
There was no statistically significance residual cholesteatoma rate between CWD and CWU mastoidectomy procedures
Discussion MESNA ;
no side effect on hearing *make simpler the dissection of tissue
layers because of its disrupting effect on disulfide bonds **
is it avert to left epitelium from a previous surgery and decrease residual cholesteatoma rate?

Discussion
MESNA used group; Residual cholesteatoma, 3/46 cases (6,5%)
MESNA non-used group; Residual cholesteatoma, 17/95 (17,9%)
The residual cholesteatoma was seen significantly higher in mesna non-applied group than mesna applied group (pearson Chi-square test; p=0.045)
Conclusion
According to the results of this study, which is the first in the literature; The matrix of cholesteatoma is mainly
composed of keratin, which has disulfide bonds, can be disrupted by MESNA. This effect may help totally dissection of cholesteatoma matrix
This may decrease residual cholesteatoma rates and increase success rate
