In the second stage, surgery for reconstruction was performed 4 weeks after the first stage surgery (Fig. 5 c).
Differentiation should be made between patient evaluation prior to first stage surgery and patient evaluation prior to second-stage surgery looking for residual cholesteatoma.

In general, we recommend that the second stage of surgery to be performed 3 6 months after the first stage surgery.
Survival outcome specific to histology, stage, surgery, radiation therapy and other prognostic factors are described.
In multivariable analysis, age, histological subtype, stage, surgery and radiotherapy were predictive of survival.
At the early stage, surgery, radiation therapy, and hormonal therapy are the preferred treatments.
In four cases, the patient underwent first stage surgery for the upper lesions (36.4 %), and the other 7 cases (63.6%%) the patient underwent first stage surgery for the lower lesions.
Variables in the analysis included: age at diagnosis; sex; race; year of diagnosis; histological subtype; cancer stage; surgery and radiotherapy.
In the full model, statistically significant covariates were age, histological subtype, stage, surgery and radiation, according to the Wald test.
