Abstract
Background:
Chronic suppurative otitis media is characterized by ear discharge through permanent tympanic membrane perforation and hearing loss which pose challenges in management. The goals of surgical management of chronic suppurative otitis media are to eradicate middle ear disease, prevent complications, and restore hearing.

The operations performed were mastoidectomy and combined approach Tympanoplasty. The results were analyzed using the International Business Machine—Statistical Package for Scientific Solution version 25.0.

Results:
