Résumé

The aim of this article was to systematically review the literature on the pediatric population surgically treated for cholesteatoma and describe the applied post-operative follow-up strategies. A systematic review was conducted following the Primary Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) statement recommendations. After running the selected search string in PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar, studies in English, reporting on surgically treated pediatric cholesteatoma patients (age younger or equal to 18 year-old) were retrieved. Both primary and revision cholesteatoma surgeries were included. Articles lacking specific data on post-surgical follow-up and case series with less than 10 patients were excluded. Nineteen papers, published between 2000 and 2023, were included for final analysis. Fourteen studies were retrospective and five prospective, for a total of 1319 patients and 1349 operated ears. Male to female ratio was 1.8:1, with a mean age at surgery of 10.4 years (range 1-18). The mean length of the follow-up after surgery was 4.4 ± 1.7 years (range 1-6.9). Clinical follow-up was detailed in 9 studies (47%) with otomicroscopy being the most common evaluation. In most articles (n = 8, 50%), MRI alone was utilized for radiological follow-up, while in 3 studies (19%), CT scans were employed exclusively. In 5 studies (31%), MRI was combined with CT scans. The timing of radiological investigations varied widely (ranging from 6 months to 3 years). A second-look strategy was reported in 14 studies (74%). This systematic review highlights the heterogeneity of the follow-up strategies applied to pediatric patients after cholesteatoma surgery, both in terms of timing and types of investigations.
