Doctoral project: Cholesteatoma - associated diseases and surgical complications
Principal supervisor: Åsa Bonnard
Co-supervisors: Cecilia Engmér Berglin and Johan Knutsson

The overall aim of this thesis is to investigate the outcomes of cholesteatoma surgery, with a particular focus on short- and long-term complications, and to explore diseases associated with cholesteatoma. This is accomplished through four studies, including one registry-based cohort study, two retrospective cohort studies utilizing medical chart data, and one laboratory study examining inflammatory markers in cholesteatoma-adjacent tissue.
