Ear endoscopy is a procedure in which an endoscope, which is a thin tube with a light, is inserted into the ear canal in order to access the middle ear to diagnose and treat conditions that involve the complex, delicate structures of the middle ear.

Ear surgery is changing and becoming less invasive. These days, if you have a ruptured eardrum, a cholesteatoma cyst, a tumor or hearing loss, a doctor can use endoscopic surgery to treat you without making a surgical cut behind your ear.

2023年9月20日 · Middle ear endoscopy is a minimally invasive office-based procedure that has demonstrated an important adjunctive role in the management of otologic disease. Middle ear endoscopy has the...

Endoscopic ear surgery (EES) is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional ear surgery and is defined as the use of the rigid endoscope, as opposed to a surgical microscope, to visualize the middle and inner ear during otologic surgery. [1]

Endoscopic ear surgery (EES) with the wide viewing angle of modern endoscopes (Fig. 1), overcomes many of the limitations of the traditional microscopic approaches to middle ear and canal disease, some of which mandated postauricular approaches in the past.

2024年8月14日 · Endoscopic ear surgery (EES) is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to treat conditions of the ear, particularly those affecting the middle ear. EES allows surgeons to visualize the ear structures in great detail on a monitor, providing a wide …

2020年5月11日 · With an endoscope, surgeons have wider visualization of the surgical area, are able to see around anatomical corners, and can perform procedures through the ear canal without having to create an incision behind the ear—making it an attractive option for patients.

Transcanal endoscopic techniques have transformed the external ear canal (EAC) into an operative gateway. The benefits EES can offer include wider views, enhanced imaging capabilities and increased magnification, and ways to see otherwise poorly visualisable portions of …

2021年7月16日 · Endoscopic ear surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that employs the use of the rigid endoscope to treat ear conditions such as osteoma, otosclerosis, ruptured eardrum, etc.
