Abstract:
With the constant evolution in the role of endoscopy in middle ear surgery, this article presents a technical note on the transcanal endoscopic approach to resection of a cholesteatoma limited to the posterior mesotympanum. We believe that this technique provides a suitable, minimal-invasive alternative to the classic microscopic transmastoid approach.
