Endoscopic Ear Surgery: Minimally Invasive, Maximum Views
Abstract
Ear surgery has historically been performed with a microscope, an approach which often requires a post-auricular incision and represents a relatively invasive form of access to the middle ear. Over the past three decades, the advent of endoscopic techniques has allowed for a minimally invasive alternative. Endoscopic ear surgery (EES) has emerged as an innovative approach in otology, transforming the way surgeons address ear disorders and improving patient outcomes. EES provides enhanced visualization and exceptional precision during otologic procedures. This article examines the technical aspects of EES, its impact on contemporary otology practice, and the future direction of this technology.
