Abstract :

Transcanal Endoscopic ear surgery (TEES) was a new horizon in the field of Otology. Operating both the ears simultaneously has many advantages than the conventional microscopic ipsilateral ear surgery. Reduced morbidity, blood loss, financial accruement, less surgical time and better results makes it more popular Fifty patients were operated over one year at tertiary care center. Patients having dry safe bilateral ear perforation were selected. Patients having conductive heå loss were considered. PTA was done pre and postoperatively. 4mm and 2.7 mm zero degree endoscopes were used with compatible camera monitor Fifty patients were included in the study aged between fifteen years and sixty five years. The maximum number of patients was in the age group of fifteen to twenty five years age group. Males were more affected than females. Average heå loss (AHL) was more in the left ear (36.4dB) than the right ear (34dB).The average heå gain in right ear was 29.2 dB and 31.6dB in left ear. The infection occurred in seven cases and five cases resolved after instituting topical antibiotics. Bilateral ear surgery in one single sitting has many advantages over conventional single ear microscopic technique. Hence, it was getting more popular and acceptable.
