Solubilization of keratin debris in conservative treatment of middle ear cholesteatoma: an in vitro study
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 June 2007
Abstract
A variety of solutions were tested in vitro to find a suitable solvent which could be used in clinical practice for cholesteatoma debris. Though a little weak as a solvent, a liquid soap composed mainly of plant oil did not cause irritation of the middle ear mucosa, and was thought to be a promising solvent with which to rinse away tenacious debris, especially when used in combination with hydrogen peroxide.
