Abstract:
Similar to other surgical fraternities, endoscopic ear surgery (EES) faced great challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many elective operations involving EES needed to be postponed, resulting in accumulated cases. Throughout one year during COVID-19, Hospital Sultan Ismail, Johor, Malaysia continued to perform various EES procedures. Although EES is an aerosol-generating procedure, it has become evidence that this minimallyinvasive surgical approach offers lesser bony drilling and shorter operative time as compared to open mastoidectomy. Thus, this reduced the risk of viral transmission to the surgeons and operating staffs.
