The obliteration of a large or irregular mastoidectomy cavities with hard-to-control areas is a common problem for ENT surgeons. Numerous obliteration techniques have been proposed in the last 50 years. We report our experience of obliteration of mastoid cavities in 74 ears using autogenous mastoid cortical bone chips and rib cartilage. Our procedure, a partial obliteration with meatoplasty, has yielded good results. Almost 92% of these ears were dry three years after surgery. There were no cases of recurrent cholesteatoma between bone chips.
