Abstract:
Today, endoscopic transcanal ear surgery with confident steps is becoming a practice. It will be used by the patient in repeated practice by the surgeon before being used in the patient. It is so important and popular in connection with this dissection work. Working on biomaterial sets itself several tasks: training manual skills to work with an endoscope and an instrument in the middle ear, stage-by-stage training for performing specific interventions, detailed analysis and understanding of structures anatomy and topography. This article presents a step-by-step dissection algorithm with an analysis of the each area anatomical landmarks, like a prototype. Moreover, the course of dissection allows you to work out the performance of type I tympanoplasty.
