Endoscopic Ear Surgery Presentation As most open abdominal surgeries are replaced by minimally invasive laparoscopic surgeries, similarly commonly done ear surgeries by microscope are now possible by minimally invasive endoscopic ear surgeries. Advantage: 1. Scarless/Minimal scar ( Vital postauricular layers saved ) 2. Better Visualization of hidden areas With the advancement in technology, surgical procedures are becoming minimally invasive, same holds true in ear surgeries. Surgeries requiring only mesotympanum handling like grommet insertion, fat myringoplasty, tympanoplasties with or without ossicular reconstruction, Partial ossicular replacement prosthesis (PORP)/ Total ossicular replacement prosthesis (TORP) placement & stapes surgeries etc. can be performed by expert endoscopic ear surgeon with minimally invasive technique. In endoscopic ear surgery no postauricular incision is required, whereas in conventional microscopic approach skin incision is required, hence no scar & lesser chances of complications like change of appearance of pinna, fistula & infections etc.
