Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Tympanic membrane perforations can impair hearing and predispose to infection.
  • Traditional myringoplasty techniques may involve significant tissue manipulation.
  • Minimally invasive endoscopic approaches are increasingly explored in otologic surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tympanoscope-assisted myringoplasty.
  • To assess hearing outcomes and tympanic membrane closure rates using this novel technique.

Main Methods:

  • Rigid otoendoscopes and small-diameter tympanoscopes (1.7 mm) were utilized for the procedure.
  • Endoscopic visualization of the tympanic cavity was performed through the perforation.
  • Thirty ears from 29 patients with varying perforation sizes underwent the surgery.

Main Results:

  • Postoperative air-bone gap was less than 10 dB in 90% of the operated ears.
  • The procedure demonstrated a high success rate for tympanic membrane closure.
  • Minimal trauma to healthy surrounding tissue was observed.

Conclusions:

  • Tympanoscope-assisted myringoplasty is a reliable and simple surgical procedure.
  • The technique offers benefits of minimal tissue trauma and is suitable for day-case surgery.
  • Satisfactory hearing results and tympanic membrane closure can be achieved.
