Hello, I'm a nursing student and I enjoy learning medical prefixes/suffixes as it allows me to understand what doctors and other nurses are talking about. I was wondering why, is it called a cholesteatoma? Would that not literally translate into "tumor of cholesterol and fat"? I apologise if this seems like a silly question, but my studies don't cover cases like these and are more on generalised hospital care.

Hi Peko, you are correct, -oma = mass, cholestea = would imply cholesterol or fat or something. It's a misnomer, it probably got the name from middle ear cholesteatomas which often look white. They're really just masses of dead skin.

@isaac_marcus 11 ай бұрын
As far as I can tell, it's just a case of it being misnamed originally and never getting the name fixed. "The term cholesteatoma (“chole” representing cholesterol, “steat” representing fat and “oma” meaning “tumor”) as we now know, is a misnamed entity that was originally termed by Johannes Müller in 1838 under the flawed belief that the lesion was primarily a tumor of adipose tissue" - doi: 10.1007/s12105-018-0915-5

I tend to find people who have no health issues tend to be the ones more prone to worry etc. It gets me down at times of course but wondering if other things have occured with this gent. Hope he gets relief soon. Tis quite a guagmire!

You've probably heard this before, but Dr Zhao has an instrument that could be what you're looking for. It's a hook with a longer angled portion at the end, a bit more like a hockey stick, and in his case happens to have a sharp scoop as well. When you know the dimensions of the pit, this longer hook could be ideal.

As a former physician (not ENT), I would classify your "trauma" as of a minor/minimal degree, particularly in view of the diagnosis. As I've previously mentioned, it brings into question the legal decision of not permitting audiologists to utilize local anesthetic. This would have been quite appropriate in this case in so far as not only providing comfort for the patient, but also making your job easier. A bit of skin bruising is a fair price to pay, when necessary, to advance the treatment of this patient's medical problem, with informed patient consent of course.

My brother had this and had to have an "obliteration operation" to remove his internal ear on his left side as it kept getting repeat infection and would have killed him as it got into his skull. Thank you for your channel as its very interesting to learn more as he had it when we were both kids so not really internet searching it then. Also tell your patient the longer its left un operated on the worse the outcome is. My brother had multiple operations over years and years before the final one to remove his inner ear. My parents were on forums of other families affected, and one poor kid in america had nerve damage as it had eaten so far in, as they had to fundraise for it that allowed it to get so extreme.

2:00 When you realized it was the same patient you saw earlier, what made you think that it was just an infected ear full of pus instead of a recurrence of the same problem? it is true that ear infections are more common than cholesteatomas in general. How about for patients where you clean out dead sheets of skin, is infection more common than recurrence of the same problem for them too?

Hi Connor! I've been watching your videos, and they're always so intriguing. I think I may have a starting ear infection, as well as my throat starting to ache slightly. I am scheduling an appointment as soon as I can. My whole life I have used hydrogen peroxide to clean my ears when they itch, or when I have an infection and the doctor agreed it was a good idea to clean the ear canals. This time it hasn't helped, and now both ears are having issues. Is it possible for a problem with ears to travel to the throat somehow? I know they are connected in our bodies.

I hope there is something they can do for her as she is a musician and composer and extremely distressed by her hearing loss. Any advice greatly appreciated Conner

I'm not a healthcare professional so take this with a grain of salt, but I think otitis media with effusion, aka glue ear, is unlikely to lead to permanent hearing loss - so at least when she finally does get treatment her hearing should go back to normal. In the meantime, has she tried any of the devices out there that are designed to help with ETD? I think Vik Veer has a video about them on his channel. If she hasn't spoken to a GP or pharmacist about things like saline sinus washes and antihistamines and steroid nose sprays (not the same thing as decongestant nose sprays) they might also be worth looking into as well. I hope she gets to see ENT soon and that they are able to help her. As a fellow atopic allergy sufferer she has all my sympathy. Mine aren't cured, but they're under control these days, and that has made a world of difference to me; I hope things go even better for her.

Please watch Dr. Zhao video. He is using a very good hook to lift a stubborn earwax. Especially Cholesteatoma debris. Thank you so much for your gentle care for your patients. You are not afraid to admit if you made a mistake. Most medical practioner will not admit their mistake in public. They will resolve the mistake done but in private. Take care and God bless you.❤

I'm not trained in this, but could you do a swab and culture to check for infection? I had a lot of moisture and peeling and had an ear culture and they found antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Dr. Zhao has an instrument he uses to clean some cholesteatomas that looks like a hook with little grooves in the tip and the bend. I have no clue what it’s called. Have you ever seen one? Would it help? You did well on cleaning out this one with what you had to work with but it was understandably frustrating. I hope this man gets his ENT appointment soon.

Yes I've seen the hook he uses, I searched for ages to try and find something similar but have never found anything exactly the same. In the end I had to get Sheffmed to make the one I use specially for me

Wow! That was way bigger than I expected... I think you did a great job. Considering the situation, and how deep that was, I believe scraping that was unavoidable. Good work...😊

If you weren't narrating this piene I woould think this was a long term neglected mastoid cavity. Isn't there a way to fast track a patient to an ENT? It just seems a bit long for certain patients. It is , as always. good to see you. It may be late, but, Happy New Year. Please keep us posted. Thank you and thanks to the patient.

Hi Therese, yes it does look like a mastoid cavity, it might turn into one if left alone. There are ways to fast track but I have no power to do it. Good to see you!

You need to try using some curettes. That hook and suction are pretty inefficient. You must have a lot of free time.

That was quite the battle. I always wondered if when these surgeries are performed if the ear loses sensation? Big cavity ears seem to get more of a workout and it really looks like tools hit the canal but evoke no response. Do they lose feeling after surgery?

With the surgery you mentioned this patient will need, would that kind of surgery affect your hearing at all as the shape of the ear canal gets completely changed?

What caused the patient to have such a large crater in the ear canal? I enjoyed watching this video and your hard work clearing this ear out.

I'm not sure, these cases are often a mystery and the causes of this kind of thing are unclear

Sir, I am a Physycian Assitant Certified from the USA. How are you not an ENT/Otolaryrngologist capable of performing surical repair? For a local anesthetic why is Cocaine Solition at 20% not instilled and then evacuated? The 4m Scope was excellent in every regard. When I was first trained at university to be a PA-C, scopes of this type were years from appearing in general use. Be grateful for what you have now. Cheers.

There is an American ENT that uploads wax clearing that uses a hook like described. It has three 90 degree turns on it.

As always, a great video. Sometimes I wish I could reach through the screen to hand you one of my little crochet jooks I inherited from my grandmother! Lol. Some of them are for working with very fine yarn, almost like sewing thread and look like they would do the job.

​@@DurhamHearingSpecialistsCrochet hooks are slightly pointed but not sharp - if they were sharp it would be too easy to go through the middle of a strand of yarn instead of sliding in between strands.

This was absolutely amazing and I completely, totally did not expect the iceberg at 12:13. As this skin (wax, etc.) is building up, is it also eating away making the trenches deeper and longer? Is this an autoimmune disease? Please keep us updated.
