Italian term

concomeatoplastica

Italian to English Medical Medical (general)
From a patient report of a man with stenosis of the right ear canal:

E stato sottoposto a intervento chirurgico programmato di **concomeatoplastica** destra, per via retroauricolare, su pregressa mastoidectomia, in anestesia generale.

I have 'meatoplasty of the right ear via a retro-auricular approach', although I am very unsure about this. I have found one native English reference for 'retro-auricular' and a UK hospital article on 'meatoplasty'/'canalplasty', but am still not sure if this is actually the translation of 'concomeatoplastica'

Thank you!

It could be this surgical technique. You should check if it applies to your context.
