Transcanal endoscopic techniques have transformed the external ear canal into an operative gateway. The evolution history of endoscopic ear instruments has always been driven by the surgeon's demand in certain procedures. Because simple procedures (such as drilling and curetting) in microscopic postaural approach might become extremely difficult in the settings of Endoscopic ear surgery with the transcanal approach. This necessitated the need for the modifications in the existing instrumentation to be used efficiently during EES. In this manuscript, we describe the modified curette by imparting an angle at its distal end and describe the advantages of it.

We compared the long-term efficacy and incidence of myringitis after cartilage graft underlay myringoplasty for chronic tympanic membrane (TM) perforations with and without external ear canal (EAC) packing. : In total, 129 patients who met the inclusion criteria were allocated to either the EAC packing (packing) group or the no-EAC packing (no-packing) group. All patients underwent endoscopic cartilage graft underlay myringoplasty.

The science of endoscopic ear surgery is gaining popularity and increasing momentum with reported outcomes comparable to conventional microscopic ear surgery. Endoscopic ear surgery has numerous advantages including access to visualization of occult areas of middle ear like sinus tympani. The endoscopic transcanal mastoidectomy via conventional drilling technique(Inside-out) has also established itself as a successful procedure with excellent post-operative outcomes.

The intricacies of Endoscopic Type 1 tympanoplasty necessitate a bespoke surgical methodology, particularly in graft selection, to efficaciously address individual variances in tympanic membrane (TM) perforations. This manuscript delineates our investigative insights into the nuanced process of graft technique determination before endoscopic tympanoplasty, underscoring the pivotal role of personalized surgical strategies in optimizing patient outcomes. This study encompassed a cohort of thirty patients stratified into three groups based on a constellation of criteria: external ear canal dimensions, dermal characteristics, TM perforation location, and magnitude, alongside assessments of comorbidities and historical chronic otitis instances.
