T. Rajendra Prasad, Pv Sampath Kumar, K. Santhaiah

Abstract :

 The use of endoscopes in the field of ear surgery has significantly transformed the otologic surgery from open procedures to minimally invasive or key–hole procedures with an advantage of shorter operating time period, improved cosmesis, lower complication rates and better surgical outcomes. Endoscopes used in otology was initially limited to diagnostic purposes. Later the evolution of otoendoscopes  and endoscopic holders facilitated performing endoscopic ear surgeries like  myringotomy and grommet insertion, tympanoplasty, stapedectomy and mastoidectomy procedures  with both hands.  In this study we are going to discuss the current techniques for endoscopic middle ear dissection,   particularly endoscopic myringoplasty, discussing the equipment needed, surgical indications, and technique and also showing the potential advantages and disadvantages of the procedure.
