PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Endoscopic ear surgery (EES) is becoming very popular worldwide. Transcanal endoscopic assisted procedures and combined endoscopic and microscopic surgeries have proven to be safe and effective to manage ear diseases in a minimally invasive way, preserving important anatomic structures, allowing functional approaches to well-known conditions. Moreover, endoscopes have provided a better view and understanding of traditional middle ear anatomy and physiology, allowing new landmarks, novel concepts of tissue preservation, ventilation routes, and management of other conditions within the middle ear and beyond. In this miniseminar we will present the latest trends on EES, discussing advantages, disadvantages, indications, results and possible complications.

Learning Objectives:

Learn and review the endoscopic anatomy of the middle ear, discussing the important endoscopic anatomic landmarks as well as showing new endoscopic anatomical findings.
Identify the actual indications and limitations of this minimally invasive approach, including new transcanal approaches to lateral skull base.
Describe and demonstrate step-wise endoscopic middle ear approaches for several diseases of this area, including instruments, equipment, results, and financial data.
