Patients can be asymptomatic or can experience hearing loss, fullness feeling and\/or ear discharge. RP can be stable or develop a cholesteatoma; aim of the study was to investigate if mastoidectomy may play a role in the surgical management of patients suffering from RP, both reporting our experience and discussing the existing literature.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Fifty-one patients affected by RP were referred for surgery and randomly divided into two groups. Patients of G1 group underwent tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy, patients of G2 group underwent tympanoplasty only. A systematic review of the literature was then carried out by applying the PRISMA guidelines.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The mean follow-up lasted about 36\u00a0months. The G1 and G2 groups reached a postoperative mean air\u2013bone gap (ABG) of 7.1\u00a0dB HL and 5.1\u00a0dB HL, respectively, with a mean ABG improvement of 13.2\u00a0dB HL and 12.4\u00a0dB HL. An ABG improvement was observed in the 59.7% of the G1 group and in the 63.2% of the G2 group, respectively (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u20090.5). Only one case of long-term complication was recognized in the G1 group.
