Abstract
Otological surgery has progressed rapidly over the past century. With the recent introduction of the 3‐chip camera system and high definition video systems, endoscopes now provide ultra‐high resolution images of the middle ear that were never seen previously. We conducted this study to compare the efficacy of endoscopic tympanoplasty over microscopic myringoplasty in terms of preoperative ease of surgery including visualisation of ossicles and eustanchian tube and intraoperative bleeding, graft uptake, hearing improvement, post‐operative pain score, post‐auricular hypoesthesia, duration of hospital stay etc. A prospective study conducted in Dept. of ENT, MIMS medical college, Nellimarla, Vizianagaram, AP. Endoscopic myringoplasty has many advantages over microscopic myringoplasty and can be a better alternative or adjuct to microscopic myringoplasty. Endoscopic ear surgery provides a better magnification, wide field view and the ability to look around corners. Further more transcanal endoscopic ear surgery (TESS) approaches transform external auditory canal into a minimally invasive surgical portal to access middle ear disease. The ease of surgery improves with time and has a gradual learning curve. The graft uptake rate is comparable with both approaches. The overall satisfaction score in terms of reduced pain and hypoesthesia with decreased hospital stay is higher in endoscopic approach.
