Learning Objectives: In the Indian subcontinent, the otologist faces several challenges in cholesteatoma surgery due to the high prevalence of the disease and late presentation with advanced disease. Cholesteatoma extending into the oval / round windows, semicircular canal, or the internal auditory meatus are encountered. Revision surgery can be particularly challenging. This presentation will focus on these difficult situations in cholesteatoma surgery.
