ABSTRACT
This article defines the terms “tympanum revision” and “revision tympanotomy”, presenting the criteria of differentiation thereof. The term “revision” means exploration (inspection), control tympanotomy or tympanum re-inspection, reoperation in cases of disputable results of primary surgery, aimed at checking (making visual inspection, control) of the tympanic cavity structures. To indicate the primary tympanotomy when the disease diagnosis is complicated, the term “diagnostic”, “exploratory” tympanotomy or “tympanotomy with the tympanic cavity revision” is preferable. The authors presented their vision of use of the terms “revision”, “repeated sanitizing” or “reconstructive” surgery, depending on surgical findings and the nature of cholesteatomic process during the primary surgical intervention.
