The soft tissue, therefore, isnot to be retracted from the external meatus, but only the bone of the mas-toid region exposed. The overlying soft tissues are often edematous andpus can be traced, oozing from sinuses. The bone is often so soft that themastoid cells can all be curetted away without using the chisel. Overhang-ing bone should always be cut away so to leave a bowl-shaped exposing and cleaning out the diseased cells and securing hemostasisby pressure, the aditus ad antrum should be gently curetted in an outwarddirection with a small sharp curet in order to insure a free curet should no
