Endoscopic ear surgery (EES) is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional ear surgery and is defined as the use of the rigid endoscope, as opposed to a surgical microscope, to visualize the middle and inner ear during otologic surgery. [1] During endoscopic ear surgery the surgeon holds the endoscope in one hand while working in the ear ...
Aural/Ear syringe: used to flush out anything like ear wax or foreign bodies from the external ear Toynbee's auscultation tube: Otoscope/Auriscope: to examine the external auditory canal and ear drum; used during aural toileting, removal of wax, myringotomy, stapedectomy and to dilate the stenosis of canal Mouth gag - •Doyen's mouth gag
Endoscopic minimally invasive tympanoplasty was proposed by Professor Tarabichi in 1999 approach using endoscopic access through the ear canal without making any incision. [5] This has gained popularity with the general shift of all surgical techniques towards minimally invasive approaches and Endoscopic ear surgery.

Balloon Eustachian tuboplasty (BET) [1] is a minimally invasive procedure for the causal treatment of Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD), an often-chronic disorder in which the regulation of middle ear pressure and the removal of secretions are impaired. The dysfunction often causes significant discomfort in affected patients and can trigger ...
Foreign bodies can also be removed by endoscopy, which although requires general anesthesia does not require surgery and significantly decreases recovery time. [19] However, endoscopic foreign body retrieval is anatomically limited to objects lodged in the esophagus, the stomach or the colon. The condition in cattle is known as hardware disease.
Stapedectomy has success rates ranging from 80% to 95%. [5] [6]Stapedectomy closes what is called the "air bone gap" very efficiently, meaning it restores efficient conduction of sound coming through the air close to the level of the best ability of the nerve cells to perceive the sound.
Endoscopic endonasal surgery is a minimally invasive technique used mainly in neurosurgery and otolaryngology. A neurosurgeon or an otolaryngologist, using an endoscope that is entered through the nose, fixes or removes brain defects or tumors in the anterior skull base .
