Wow! Haven't hear that word in awhile. My ex had a cholesteatoma removed when we were married. She came throu it very well but often complained about pain. She had waited too long and it damaged some of the bone.
If you are concerned about the infection your Dr. should be able to treat it. The worst case senario would be to operate again and physically remove the infection. You really should not have too much to worry about as long as you follow your Dr's orders.

All I know about cholesteatoma is that it is associated with chronic middle ear infection. Sorry
