Was the surgery just septoplasty or this plus a sinus procedure? Do you (or did you) have medically prove chronic sinusitis? If you have untreated sinus disease, this could have been present for many years and caused a “retraction-pocket cholesteoma. It should be addressed to lessen chance of eustachian tube problems in the future. Also, the size of the cholesteotoma on CT, your hearing level, and the status of the ossicles?? Many variables here.
