Facial paresis or paralysis were complication which might be unpredictable following mastoid surgery.
Even if you are operated by an experienced surgeon,the unwanted complication might be happened.
I want to tell you of an interesting case of my own ,who was a nurse in my hospital.
The paresis was almost complete a day following the surgery for a left mastoiditis.
I give her low power laser therapy and the result was a complete recovery.
Another recovery was found in a patient with otalgia and vertigo due to right mastoiditis with choleasteatoma ,who underwent mastoidectomy.
Again,low power laser is not as low as one may think of it!
