Abstract
Mastoid surgeries are surgical procedures, wherein surgical failures are prevalent due to the fundamental complexities involved, especially in the understanding of microscopy and pathophysiology of the disease. A revision mastoidectomy is an utmost, a post-procedure decision, wherein the patient continues to exhibit signs and symptoms that are concerning. This is proved by a prospective, cross-sectional research which was conducted upon a group of patients who were referred to a tertiary health care centre. This selection of twenty-three (23) patients who underwent mastoidectomy prior to their participation in this research, were exhibiting signs of recurrent diseases. The observations of trends seen in revision mastoidectomy are detailed and inferences gleaned from it. These trends and observations direct us towards the understanding that the majority of failure of previous mastoidectomy was due to persistent diseased air cells and recurrent or residual cholesteatoma. This is further corroborated by the trends observed from exhausting literature readings of previous similar studies. Revision mastoid surgeries are an important follow-up process, after the mastoidectomy, if the patients continue to exhibit diseased states.

Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery was founded as Indian Journal of Otolaryngology in 1949 as a scientific Journal published by the Association of Otolaryngologists of India and was later rechristened as IJOHNS to incorporate the changes and progress.
IJOHNS, undoubtedly one of the oldest Journals in India, is the official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India and is about to publish it is 67th Volume in 2015. The Journal published quarterly accepts articles in general Oto-Rhino-Laryngology and various subspecialities such as Otology, Rhinology, Laryngology and Phonosurgery, Neurotology, Head and Neck Surgery etc.
