Endoscopes are increasingly being used in middle ear surgery as an adjunct to or replacement for the operative microscope. The superior visualization of hidden areas and a minimally invasive transcanal approach to the pathology are some of the endoscope's advantages. The aim of this review is to compare the surgical outcomes of a totally endoscopic transcanal approach with a conventional microscopic approach for type 1 tympanoplasty in patients with chronic otitis media (COM) in order to establish if endoscopic myringoplasty (EM) could be a better alternative to microscopic myringoplasty (MM). A literature review was performed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis recommendations. The selected articles were identified by searching PubMed Central, PubMed, MEDLINE and Embase databases for the relevant publications. Only studies where the same surgeon in the department performed both endoscopic and microscopic myringoplasty have been included in the review. The results suggest that with an endoscopic approach, minimally invasive myringoplasty can be achieved with a similar graft success rate and postoperative air-bone gap (ABG) improvement, a shorter operative time and less postoperative complications compared to a microscopic approach.

Article Synopsis
- - This study assessed whether ear packing is necessary during otological surgeries, specifically myringoplasty, focusing on graft success and hearing improvements.
- - In a trial involving 200 patients, results showed similar graft success rates (around 90%) and hearing gains between those who received ear packing and those who did not, with no significant differences.
- - The conclusion suggests that for certain cases, avoiding ear packing during myringoplasty can simplify the procedure without negatively affecting patient outcomes.

The medical records of 438 patients who underwent myringoplasty followed up for a minimum of one year in the period of 1980 and 2015 were revised. Examination under otomicroscope was done of the ear to be operated. This was carried out with a speculum under the operating microscope to be reliably asses the tympanic membrane, site of perforation, to rule out any other pathology and assess the status of ossicular chain.

Background And Objectives: Myringoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to repair tympanic membrane perforation which can be performed either using a microscope or an endoscope. The aim of this study is to compare the graft uptake, hearing outcome and operative time of endoscopic myringoplasty (EM) versus microscopic myringoplasty (MM) by underlay cartilage island graft technique.
Subjects And Methods: In this prospective comparative study of sixty patients divided into two equal groups with small to medium sized tympanic membrane perforation were included.
