I wonder then, how they would diagnose a cholesteatoma if they can't see it with

the naked eye?

It was while they were already INSIDE doing a tube that the Dr. found it. I feel

the Dr. missed it the first two surgeries.

The " other " Dr. the super-duper Surgeon found it. I wonder if there is

malpractice here, but argh, where did it first start? The vaccines. Much is

written about the ear infections/vaccines.

The first Dr. didn't see it when doing the tubes.

Hope that answered your question. My neice just found out she'll need the same

surgery.

And my son " supposed " to have the surgery again, more that 50 percent of the

time they regrow in children. He lost some of his tastebuds and they warned of

possible damage to a facial nerve (could cause paralysis) or bumping into the

brain.

He's totally fine, surgery was last year. He's hearing is fine. One ear on the

verge of minor loss. But as yet no hearing problems.

Auditory processing probems, yes.

so do I do the surgery again?

The anesthesia is bad, especially with B12 defiencies.

had some info. on this, when in the dentist or surgery.

I don't know what to do about the next surgery. They want to do a new tube (left

ear) and check on the cholesteatoma.

It is quite frightening.
