What Is Endoscopic Ear Surgery?

This advanced ENT procedure uses an endoscope to access and treat middle ear conditions like exostoses, keratosis obturans, or structural issues. Performed through the ear canal, it includes canaloplasty, tympanoplasty, or ossiculoplasty, ensuring precise visualization and minimal invasiveness. This scarless approach reduces complications, offering effective solutions for hearing loss, infections, or blockages with enhanced surgical precision.

How Is the Procedure Performed?

The process begins with an ear assessment, often using endoscopy or imaging. Under general anesthesia, an endoscope accesses the ear canal to treat conditions like exostoses or perform tympanoplasty. Lasting 30–90 minutes, the procedure ensures precision with minimal tissue damage, targeting middle ear structures like the attic or antrum for optimal outcomes and patient comfort.

What to Expect During Recovery

Post-surgery, mild discomfort or temporary hearing changes may resolve within 1–7 days. No head bandages are needed, and patients follow aftercare, such as ear drops or avoiding water exposure. Most resume light activities within days, with full recovery in 1–3 weeks. Hearing improvements emerge rapidly, with follow-ups ensuring sustained ear health and comfort.
