Objective: The aim of this study was to elucidate a mix of bone pate with ribbon-like temporalis muscle flap for mastoid cavity obliteration after mastoid surgery to avoid mastoid cavity problems. Materials and Methods: In 54 patients of unsafe chronic suppurative otitis media, canal wall down mastoidectomy was done, size of the cavity assessed and ribbon-like temporalis muscle flap with bone pate used for mastoid cavity obliteration. Follow-up was done at 3 weeks, 3 months and then at 6 months. Results: Dry cavity with success rate of 83% is achieved with temporalis muscle flap technique of mastoid cavity obliteration. Conclusion: A mix of bone pate to obliterate the small spaces in the mastoid cavity along with a ribbon-like temporalis muscle flap is effective method of mastoid cavity obliteration as it gives a dry ear, is not bulky and most importantly maintains the canal.
