For a person who has previously had mastoid surgery behind the ear, this is a more involved cleaning of that surgically created cavity to remove debris, wax, or infected material that has built up. It's the more extensive version of this cleaning, done under anesthesia or spread across multiple visits, rather than a quick in-office cleaning. Regular cleaning of this type of cavity is often needed long-term after mastoid surgery.
