Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Mastoidectomy. These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
Mastoidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove diseased air cells from the mastoid bone — the bony prominence behind the ear — which become infected or eroded by conditions such as chronic ear infection (CSOM) or a cholesteatoma, a slowly destructive growth of skin cells trapped in the middle ear. The operation is performed under general anaesthesia, typically through a small incision behind the ear, using a high-speed drill guided by a microscope or endoscope. Depending on the extent of disease, the surgeon may preserve the back wall of the ear canal (canal-wall-up) or remove it to create one open cavity (canal-wall-down); eardrum repair and hearing-bone reconstruction are commonly done in the same sitting. The primary goal is to clear disease completely and make the ear safe; hearing improvement, where possible, is a secondary but important aim.
The mastoid air cells are cleared while keeping the back wall of the ear canal intact, giving the ear a more natural feel and easier hearing rehabilitation, though a planned second-look procedure may be needed.
Estimated cost: ~$300 – $500
Typical tests for this variant: Pure tone audiogram (PTA), CT scan of temporal bones (high-resolution), CBC, Blood sugar (fasting), PT/INR, ECG (if above 40 years or anaesthetist requirement), Ear swab culture and sensitivity (if active discharge). Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $3,500 – $5,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~3 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~9 days recommended
Total stay: approx 14 days
The back wall of the ear canal is removed to create one continuous open mastoid cavity, making it easier to clear extensive disease in a single operation, but requiring lifelong periodic ear cleaning.
Estimated cost: ~$300 – $500
Typical tests for this variant: Pure tone audiogram (PTA), CT scan of temporal bones (high-resolution), MRI of temporal bones (if cholesteatoma extent unclear), CBC, Blood sugar (fasting), PT/INR, ECG (if above 40 years or anaesthetist requirement), Ear swab culture and sensitivity (if active discharge). Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $4,000 – $5,500
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~4 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~12 days recommended
Total stay: approx 18 days
The most extensive form, creating a single large cavity from the mastoid and ear canal without eardrum or hearing-bone reconstruction, reserved for severe disease where reconstruction is not safely possible.
Estimated cost: ~$300 – $500
Typical tests for this variant: Pure tone audiogram (PTA), CT scan of temporal bones (high-resolution), MRI of temporal bones, CBC, Blood sugar (fasting), PT/INR, ECG, Ear swab culture and sensitivity (if active discharge). Done in India before hospital admission.

Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
