Abstract
To evaluate role of endoscope in management of Retro tympanic Cholesteatoma. Prospective study. Data of mastoidectomy procedure done with microscope and endoscope at department of ENT, FAAMCH from 1ST December 2020 to 1st December 2022 were taken into account. Data were collected on gender, age, clinical presentation, type of surgery and site of cholesteatoma. A total of 67 patients between 15‐58 years undergone mastoidectomy procedures in ENT department, FAAMCH, between 1st December 2020 and 1st December 2022. 41 patients underwent canal wall down mastoidectomy with endoscope and microscope, 10 patients underwent Intact Canal Wall Mastoidectomy with endoscope and microscope. 16 patients were operated with endoscope only. In 10 patients using microscope Intact Canal Wall Mastoidectomy was done and Retro tympanic Cholesteatoma and Retro tympanic Granulation were seen in 2 and 1 patient respectively. Then endoscope was used and Retro tympanic Cholesteatoma and Retro tympanic Granulation was seen in 5 and 2 patients respectively. Canal Wall Down Mastoidectomy was done in 41 patients using microscope and Retro tympanic Cholesteatoma and Retro tympanic Granulation was seen in 15 and 7 patients respectively. Using endoscope in same patients Retro tympanic Cholesteatoma and Retro tympanic Granulation was then seen in 20 and 9 patients respectively. Use of endoscope during cholesteatoma surgery will immensely help us to complete its removal. Presently most surgeon use endoscope as adjunct to microscope. Advantage of endoscope is its ability to visualize the hidden areas specially the retro tympanum.
