Popis: The present report describes the management of tumorous growth in the ear canal of a dog with total ear canal ablation and lateral bulla osteotomy. Clinical examination revealed a severely stenotic ear canal along with palpable tumorous growth. The animal was premedicated with atropine, diazepam, and butorphanol. General anesthesia was induced with propofol and maintained using isoflurane with oxygen. Total ear canal ablation and lateral bulla osteotomy were performed according to the standard procedure. The closure of the surgical site was done in two layers using polyglactin 910. The skin was sutured by using polypropylene. Sutures were removed after 14 days. Post-operative antibiotics, analgesics, and nerve supplements were given. Complete recovery of the animal was seen without any post-surgical complications.
