Summary:Objectives: To determine whether ossicular reconstruction (OCR) performed concurrent with tympanomastoidectomy for cholesteatoma results in significantly different hearing results when compared to OCR performed in a separate, staged procedure. Study Design: Retrospective. Materials and Methods: Study subjects were patients undergoing OCR within a 2‐year period. Intervention was OCR concurrent with tympanomastoidectomy for cholesteatoma (group 1) or staged following tympanomastoidectomy for cholesteatoma (group 2). Main outcome measures were mean postoperative air‐bone gap (ABG), proportion achieving ABG closure to
