Abstract

Introduction: The Tympanic Membrane (TM) plays an important role in the physiology and the patho-physiology of chronic inflammatory middle ear diseases. The TM perforations significantly impair the quality of life for millions of patients. With the advent of endoscopy, ear surgery has gained new momentum. We discuss in this study the opportunity of using the endoscopy not only as a cheaper alternative to the microscope, but also a superior and more effective tool in managing cases of CSOM (safe type) in certain conditions.

Methods: Doing Trans-canal Endoscopic Butterfly or underlay Cartilage Tympanoplsty for 25 patients having a central perforation of any size other than subtotal and total perforations. The graft was taken from the tragal cartilage.

Results: Mean operations time was 20 minutes with (23/25) completely healed perforation.

Conclusions: Ear Endoscopy is an effective reliable speedy technique and much cheaper alternative to the microscope.
