Abstract
- Endoscopic tympanoplasty is a surgical procedure for patients with tympanic membrane perforation with minimal middle ear or mastoid inflammation. Recent findings revealed that endoscopic tympanoplasty harvests equivalent or even superior results over microscopic tympanoplasty. However, a number of disadvantages are related to endoscpoic tympanoplasty, one of which is the single-handed procedure that may lead to recurrent perforation. We hereby illustrate a number of techniques involved in endoscopic tympanoplasty along with their pros and cons.
