Published: October 2024

Endoscopic middle ear surgery can be utilized to visualize and excise retraction pockets without the need for extensive bone work and removal of lateral bone. To evaluate the role of endoscope in the management of squamosal type of chronic otitis media. A total of 25 adults subjects (male = 12, female = 13) in the age group of 18-55 years suffering with chronic otitis media were operated by transcanal endoscopic approach. High resolution computed tomography of temporal bone was done to help identify the anatomy and underlying extent of disease. All patients were operated by transcanal endoscopic technique. The study concluded that the endoscope gives a better visualization of the middle ear and its hidden areas. The extensive bone work and associated cavity related problems can be avoided and normal anatomy can be preserved with the help of endoscopic ear surgery.

Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck surgery, Aichi Medical University School of Medicine, 1-1, Yazakokarimata, Nagakute, Aichi 480-1195, Japan.

We present a case of a perilymphatic fistula (PLF) caused by Eustachian tube air inflation (ETAI) that was diagnosed using cochlin-tomoprotein (CTP) testing and successfully treated using transcanal endoscopic ear surgery to seal the inner ear window. A 77-year-old woman developed hearing loss and dizziness after undergoing ETAI at a local ear, nose, and throat clinic. Despite initial bed rest and steroid pulse therapy, the hearing did not improve, and transcanal endoscopic ear surgery was performed to repair the PLF.

Bilateral congenital cholesteatoma (BCC) is rare among congenital cholesteatoma (CC) cases, and bilateral surgery poses a significant psychophysical burden on pediatric patients. Here, we present 2 pediatric cases of BCC that were successfully managed using simultaneous bilateral transcanal endoscopic ear surgery (TEES). The surgical approach provided clear visualization of the middle ear structures, enabling successful cholesteatoma removal with minimal invasiveness and a short operative time.
